Since announcing a "roadmap" for implementing the second phase of a Gaza ceasefire agreement, the situation appeared headed toward gradual settlement under Donald Trump's "Peace Council," according to Shehab Wire. The framework suggested a disciplined, step-by-step approach to resolving the conflict through structured mediation.
However, developments over the past two weeks have upended that trajectory. Simultaneous fighting across multiple fronts has intensified, disrupting the diplomatic process and casting doubt on the viability of the planned second phase. The escalation has exposed deep fractures in the ceasefire arrangement and raised questions about whether the phased approach can withstand the pressures of renewed conflict.
