What did phase one of the ceasefire agreement actually deliver?
Phase one of Trump’s plan was designed to stop the fighting, facilitate the exchange of captives, set a boundary for Israeli withdrawal, allow the full entry of aid and open the Rafah crossing.
But most of the goals under the plan never became a reality on the ground:
The attacks did not stop, with Israel killing at least 451 Palestinians and wounding 1,251 since October last year.

All Israeli captives have been returned from Gaza except for the remains of one, while Israel has not released all the Palestinian prisoners agreed on, a member of the Hamas political bureau says.
Israel was supposed to withdraw its troops to an area demarcated by the so-called “yellow line”, taking up more than half of Gaza. But Al Jazeera has found that Israeli forces have been moving boundary markers, expanding their areas of control.

The ceasefire stipulated that “full aid will be immediately sent” into Gaza. But Israel continues to restrict aid, with less than half the number of aid trucks entering that were supposed to have been allowed in, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.
The Rafah crossing was supposed to open, but it remains closed by Israel.
