A de facto partition of Gaza between Israeli-controlled areas and those ruled by Hamas appears increasingly likely, as efforts to advance former U.S. President Donald Trump’s post-war peace plan falter.

Nearly two million Palestinians remain displaced across the Hamas-held sector, living in tents amid widespread devastation. The proposed second phase—meant to establish a transitional authority and multinational force—lacks clear timelines or consensus.
