- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated a hard-won ceasefire and urged a new era of harmony after speaking at the Knesset in Jerusalem and attending a global summit in Egypt.

- Old antagonisms could resurface and jeopardize the truce, while Gaza's roughly 2 million residents continue to struggle amid unresolved governance and reconstruction demands from Israel and Hamas.
