Gaza ceasefire's first anniversary passes amid continued Israeli strikes and West Bank olive harvest violence
A year after the truce took effect, rights groups say it exists "in name only" as Gaza deaths mount and settlers attack Palestinian olive pickers.
What to know
- Over 100 humanitarian and rights organisations declared the Gaza ceasefire's one-year mark exists "in name only," citing killings roughly every 90 minutes.
- Gaza's Health Ministry recorded 1,493 killed and 5,299 wounded since the truce began, on top of a cumulative 74,382 deaths since October 2023.
- The Board of Peace has missed most of its commitments: no stabilisation force deployed, aid at about a third of agreed levels, and Israel controlling nearly two-thirds of Gaza instead of the planned 50 percent.
- Settler and military disruption of the West Bank olive harvest intensified alongside a renewed postponement of Palestinian legislative elections and upcoming Israeli parliamentary elections on October 27.

background
Abbas postpones Palestinian legislative elections again — PA President Mahmoud Abbas again postponed legislative elections, this time to September, citing Israeli restrictions on election materials and observers and ongoing settler violence; Mustafa Barghouti said the move leaves power concentrated in the executive with no parliament or independent judiciary to check it. Separately, Israel heads to parliamentary elections on October 27, with Joint List leader Yousef Jabareen commenting on his predominantly Palestinian alliance's position.

Settlers and soldiers disrupt West Bank olive harvest — As the Palestinian olive harvest gathered pace, Israeli settlers and soldiers killed, attacked and blocked harvesters, besieged isolated families for days, and used drone-mounted loudspeakers to drive farmers from Wadi Abwein; settlers' chat groups framed harvesters as 'seizing' land or gathering 'intelligence.'

background
Board of Peace found to have missed most commitments — One year in, Gaza's transitional oversight body has not deployed an international stabilisation force, aid trucks are entering at roughly a third of the agreed rate, and Israel now controls nearly two thirds of the Strip, above the roughly 50 percent it was meant to retain.
