Once again, the international community observes the signing of another ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian resistance. Yet, history seems to repeat itself with unsettling familiarity. While some cling to hopes of rebuilding Gaza, many Palestinians remain doubtful, shaped by a long record of broken promises.
Historical evidence suggests that Israel has repeatedly failed to honour agreements it has signed. For what is often described as the Zionist establishment, each ceasefire tends to serve as a temporary strategic pause—a diplomatic maneuver used to reorganize occupation forces and prepare for future offensives.
The recent ceasefire was no exception: within a few days, the Israeli army, under the orders of Benjamin Netanyahu, launched brutal attacks against the Gaza Strip, murdering more than one hundred Palestinians, including 52 children, 23 women, 4 elderly people, and 7 people with disabilities, under the false allegation that Hamas had attacked Israeli troops.
Hamas rejected these accusations and condemned the violence as a deliberate breach intended to sabotage the fragile truce.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, US President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani attended the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit held in Egypt on October 13, 2025. The meeting underscored international efforts to promote stability, even as violence reignited in Gaza.
This article reflects on the recurring collapse of peace accords between Israel and Palestine, revealing how cycles of violence override diplomatic progress and deepen mistrust.
