The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza came into effect on 10 October 2025, brokered by the United States. The truce includes a halt to large-scale hostilities, the release of hostages and remains, increased humanitarian access to Gaza, partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, and eventual disarmament of Hamas. Despite the formal truce, both sides have reported ongoing violations and escalations. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with International Relations Strategist, Zeenat Adam.
