Gaza Winter Floods Highlight Ongoing Hamas Control Amid Stalled Peace Plans
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Severe winter flooding in Gaza has exacerbated the plight of displaced civilians living in tents, according to the Board of Peace. Hamas continues to control approximately 2 million people in the enclave, despite Israeli forces expanding their control to about 70% of Gaza. A US-backed peace plan from October 2025, which included an international force, has stalled due to Israeli elections and the Iran war. The Board of Peace is urging Israel to allow more aid and Hamas to disarm, warning that current efforts are insufficient.
