Hamas
VS
Israel
The conflict between Hamas and Israel escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, resulting in significant casualties and triggering a large-scale Israeli military response in Gaza.
Since then, the war has involved ongoing hostilities, ceasefire negotiations, and international diplomatic efforts, including a U.S.-announced disarmament plan.
In 2026, Hamas signaled acceptance of a roadmap that would require it to lay down arms in exchange for Israeli troop withdrawal, but the two sides remain at odds over the terms.
The situation remains volatile, with periodic Israeli strikes and continued humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
