Israel-Gaza & Middle East Conflicts
Jan 23 – Feb 28, 2026 · 45 developments
Background
—and deep disagreements persist over Hamas disarmament, IDF withdrawal timelines, governance of Gaza, and Hezbollah's military posture in Lebanon, making this conflict ecosystem a rich and volatile space where analysts and policymakers continue to monitor escalation risks, ceasefire durability, and the prospects for broader regional normalization.
The question of whether Israel and Syria will formally normalize diplomatic relations by December 31, 2025 has effectively been answered by the passage of that deadline without any such announcement. As of the latest reporting in early 2026, no official establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries has occurred, meaning the resolution condition was not met.
What has emerged in the weeks following that deadline is a picture of active but incomplete diplomacy. As of January 28, 2026, the United States was applying intensive pressure on both Israel and Syria to conclude a comprehensive security agreement, with reports indicating that President Trump set a one-month deadline for Prime Minister Netanyahu to finalize a deal. This suggests that while normalization remains a live diplomatic objective, it had not progressed to the point of a formal announcement even weeks after the December 31, 2025 cutoff.
Several structural obstacles continue to complicate any breakthrough. Israel has maintained a military presence in southern Syria since the collapse of the Assad regime, establishing expanded buffer zones and conducting operations against weapons depots in the area. The status of the Golan Heights remains a deeply contentious unresolved issue. Additionally, the influence of Iran-aligned factions within Syria's new governing structure poses a significant complication, given Iran's broader regional posture — underscored by Tehran's condemnation of Israeli strikes near the Lebanon-Syria border in late January and February 2026.
The trajectory of events suggests that while U.S.-brokered normalization talks are ongoing and carry some momentum, the two sides remain far from a formal diplomatic agreement. Continued Israeli military activity near Syrian territory and the unresolved sovereignty disputes indicate that any deal, if it materializes, is more likely to emerge in 2026 at the earliest — and only if the significant political and security obstacles can be bridged.

Israel x Hamas ceasefire cancelled by...?
Briefing
The Israel-Hamas ceasefire signed on October 9, 2025 remains technically in effect as of late February 2026, but it is under severe and sustained strain. Neither Israel nor Hamas has formally announced the cancellation of the agreement, yet the conditions underpinning it have deteriorated significantly. Israeli airstrikes have continued throughout the ceasefire period, killing dozens of Palestinians across Gaza in January and February 2026, with the IDF citing tunnel activity and militant threats as justification. Hamas has condemned these strikes as serious ceasefire violations, and former UN Middle East envoy Nikolay Mladenov publicly called for an end to the ongoing pattern of breaches.
The most acute threat to the ceasefire's survival is the disarmament impasse. In mid-February 2026, Israel issued Hamas a formal 60-day ultimatum to disarm or face a return to war, and the IDF simultaneously began drawing up plans for a renewed Gaza offensive. Hamas swiftly and categorically rejected the ultimatum, with senior official Mahmoud Mardawi stating no such deadline had been communicated through mediators. Senior Hamas leaders including Khaled Meshaal and Osama Hamdan have repeatedly and publicly vowed that armed resistance will continue as long as Israeli occupation persists. This fundamental disagreement over disarmament represents the central fault line that could collapse the agreement.
Additional destabilizing factors include Israel's reported plans to arm rival Gaza militias, the repeated disruptions at the Rafah crossing, Israel's expulsion of Médecins Sans Frontières and its pressure on UNRWA, and the reported aborted assassination attempt against senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Doha as recently as February 2026. Far-right Israeli ministers have also applied domestic pressure on Netanyahu to take a harder line. On the diplomatic side, the Board of Peace held its inaugural meeting on February 19, 2026, with roughly 40 countries attending and over $5 billion in reconstruction pledges announced, suggesting meaningful international investment in keeping the ceasefire alive. U.S. envoys Witkoff and Kushner have continued shuttle diplomacy, and Hamas has formally transferred governance functions to a technocratic committee, a step toward the ceasefire's second phase.
The trajectory is one of fragile persistence rather than confident stability. The ceasefire has not been formally cancelled, but the 60-day disarmament ultimatum — which Hamas has rejected outright — creates a structural deadline that, if not resolved diplomatically, could force Israel to choose between backing down or resuming hostilities. The key uncertainty is whether U.S. diplomatic pressure and the Board of Peace framework can bridge the disarmament gap before Israel's self-imposed timeline expires, or whether domestic political pressures in Israel and Hamas's categorical refusal to disarm will ultimately cause one side to formally end the agreement.

Which countries will join the Board of Peace by March 31?
Briefing
The Board of Peace held its inaugural formal meeting on February 19, 2026, chaired by President Trump, with representatives from roughly 40 countries and over 10 observer nations in attendance. The meeting addressed Gaza disarmament, deradicalization, reconstruction funding, and a proposed international stabilization force. Israel formally announced its participation ahead of the meeting, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar present. The gathering produced over $5–7 billion in reconstruction pledges, and Indonesia was named deputy commander of the proposed stabilization force, signaling meaningful multilateral engagement with the initiative.
Among notable joiners, Indonesia emerged as the most prominent new participant, announcing plans to deploy between 5,000 and 8,000 military personnel and accepting a leadership role within the force structure — though it subsequently signaled possible withdrawal citing national legal restrictions on its military's operational authority, before ultimately announcing plans to deploy to southern Gaza in April 2026. Pakistan committed troops with conditions attached, including a joint command structure. Turkey signaled readiness to contribute but faced sharp Israeli opposition. Saudi Arabia withheld any specific reconstruction pledge, with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan stating Riyadh would not specify contributions until the contours of a genuine end to the conflict become clear — a significant gap given Saudi Arabia's financial weight. Mexico publicly declined to join the Board altogether.
The Board's membership picture heading into the March 31 deadline reflects a broadly positive trajectory in terms of raw numbers — roughly 40 countries participated in the February 19 meeting — but with notable absences and ambiguities. Trump criticized European countries that had not joined, suggesting the Western bloc remains underrepresented. The Middle Eastern member states present largely backed a two-state solution framework, creating tension with Israel's stated opposition. Hamas, for its part, called on the Board to pressure Israel over alleged ceasefire violations, implicitly acknowledging the body's existence while rejecting its disarmament demands.
Key uncertainties remain around which specific countries have made definitive membership commitments versus those who attended in an observer or exploratory capacity. The resolution criteria require definitive public announcements of membership, and the distinction between formal joining and attendance at an inaugural meeting may prove consequential for individual country assessments. Indonesia's wavering posture and Pakistan's conditional commitment illustrate how participation can remain fluid even after a country appears to have joined. The period between the February 19 meeting and the March 31 deadline leaves room for additional countries to formalize membership, but also for current participants to qualify or walk back their involvement.

Who will be the next Prime Minister of Israel after the next election?
Briefing
Israel's October 2026 legislative elections are shaping up as a highly competitive contest with no clear frontrunner, set against a backdrop of war, legal pressure, and a fragmented opposition. Incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken deliberate steps to delay early elections, declaring in late January 2026 that holding them now would be "a mistake," and receiving temporary political relief when the Knesset passed the 2026 state budget in early February — a development that reduces the near-term risk of a snap vote. Nevertheless, Netanyahu faces mounting headwinds: his corruption trial reached its 80th court appearance, police announced a new summons in a separate legal case, and a Maariv poll found a majority of Israelis believe it is time for him to end his political career.
The opposition, meanwhile, remains deeply divided. Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, and Benny Gantz have traded accusations rather than coalescing around a unified platform or candidate. Bennett has positioned himself most aggressively, hiring Trump-linked U.S. political consultants and calling for leadership change following what he described as the greatest disaster in Israel's history. Lapid has warned that internal opposition divisions risk handing the 2026 election to the right-wing bloc. Polling as of late February 2026 presents conflicting signals — one survey projected the opposition at 60 seats, while another showed the right-wing coalition at 66 — underscoring the genuine uncertainty about which bloc can assemble a governing majority.
Netanyahu's coalition itself faces internal stress. Far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir publicly attacked the Trump administration's Gaza team in February 2026, and Israel's Supreme Court ordered Netanyahu to justify why he has not dismissed Ben Gvir — a politically awkward position for the prime minister. The intensifying October 7 accountability debate, including a report claiming Netanyahu was aware of Hamas's invasion plan as early as 2018 and former Defense Minister Gallant calling Netanyahu's justification document "a lie," continues to erode the incumbent's standing on the security issue that has historically been his strongest asset.
The central uncertainty heading toward October 2026 is whether the opposition can consolidate around a single credible candidate — most likely Bennett or Lapid — capable of peeling away centrist voters from Netanyahu's bloc. Netanyahu retains structural advantages as the incumbent during an active conflict and maintains a close relationship with the Trump administration, which could bolster his standing domestically. However, the combination of legal jeopardy, coalition instability, and sustained public dissatisfaction with October 7 accountability creates genuine vulnerability. The race remains genuinely open.

Will Hamas agree to disarm by...?
Briefing
As of late February 2026, Hamas has categorically and repeatedly rejected all demands to disarm, making a formal disarmament announcement by December 31, 2025 effectively moot — that deadline has already passed — and any near-term announcement remains highly unlikely based on current trajectories.
Throughout January and February 2026, senior Hamas leaders have issued unambiguous rejections of disarmament demands from multiple directions. Khaled Meshaal stated the group will not surrender its weapons, Osama Hamdan said armed resistance would continue as long as Israeli occupation persists, and Mahmoud al-Mardawi insisted the weapons question could only be resolved within a comprehensive national framework upon the establishment of a Palestinian state. When Israel issued a formal 60-day disarmament ultimatum in mid-February 2026, Hamas swiftly and categorically rejected it, with Mardawi stating the deadline had not even been communicated through official mediators. Islamic Jihad separately echoed Hamas's rejection. Even Fatah publicly opposed Hamas disarmament, framing the group as a resistance movement rather than a terrorist organization.
Rather than moving toward disarmament, Hamas has taken steps that signal the opposite intent. The group has been consolidating administrative control in Gaza by appointing loyalists to key government positions and resuming tax collection, even as it formally handed governance to a technocratic committee — a move Israeli security sources assessed as a strategy to maintain behind-the-scenes influence. Hamas's military spokesman Abu Obeida declared full solidarity with Iran in late January 2026, and senior Hamas officials met with Iran's Ali Larijani in Doha to coordinate on regional strategy. A PLO official claimed Hamas was in negotiations to sell its weapons and raze its tunnel network, but this claim has not been corroborated by Hamas itself and contradicts all official Hamas statements.
The broader diplomatic environment offers no near-term pathway to disarmament. While the U.S. and Israel have pressed the issue — with Trump calling for "complete and immediate" disarmament and the Board of Peace meeting on February 19, 2026 addressing demilitarization mechanisms including a weapons buyback program — Hamas has not engaged with these frameworks as a prospective participant. Israel's parallel preparation of military plans for a renewed offensive to forcibly disarm Hamas underscores that no negotiated disarmament process is underway. With Hamas leadership reaffirming armed resistance as a core principle and no credible formal announcement on the horizon, the conditions for resolution of this question as "Yes" are not present in current reporting.

Briefing
This briefing summarizes the most important developments in the timeline below so you can understand the state of the topic group at a glance.
The Middle East entered a dramatically new phase on February 28, 2026, when Israel and the United States launched coordinated military strikes against Iran — operations Netanyahu dubbed "Lion's Roar" and Washington called "Epic Fury" — capping roughly five weeks of escalating regional tension that had simultaneously tested a fragile Gaza ceasefire, stalled normalization diplomacy, and exposed deep fractures within Israeli domestic politics. The strikes, which Netanyahu accompanied with claims that Supreme Leader Khamenei may have been killed, represent the most consequential single escalation in the region in years and cast uncertainty over every other diplomatic and military thread that had been developing since late January.
The Gaza ceasefire, already under severe strain before the Iran strikes, had been lurching through a cycle of partial implementation and mutual accusation. Israeli airstrikes continued to kill Palestinian civilians throughout February — including in displaced persons camps — even as the IDF justified the operations by citing Hamas militants emerging from tunnels. Hamas repeatedly condemned the strikes as ceasefire violations and called on the newly formed Board of Peace to intervene. On the governance front, Hamas announced a formal handover of administrative functions to a Palestinian technocratic committee, but Israeli and international analysts assessed the move as cosmetic: Hamas simultaneously appointed loyalists to key positions, resumed tax collection, and sought to integrate roughly 10,000 of its police officers into the new administration — conditions Israel was certain to reject. The Rafah crossing experienced repeated closures, with Palestinians describing humiliation and abuse during crossings, and Israel separately requested that daily humanitarian aid deliveries be cut from 600 to 200 trucks, drawing alarm from relief organizations. Israel also ordered Médecins Sans Frontières to cease all Gaza operations by February 28 and severed utilities to UNRWA's East Jerusalem office, prompting joint condemnations from more than ten Western governments.
The disarmament impasse remained the central obstacle to any durable ceasefire. The United States pressed for complete Hamas disarmament as a precondition for reconstruction, with President Trump and envoy Steve Witkoff expressing confidence Hamas would comply while simultaneously warning of the dangers of Hamas rearming. Israel issued a formal 60-day ultimatum in early February; Hamas rejected it categorically, with senior official Mahmoud al-Mardawi stating the weapons question could only be resolved within a comprehensive national framework tied to Palestinian statehood. Senior Hamas figures including Khaled Meshaal and Osama Hamdan reiterated that armed resistance would continue as long as Israeli occupation persists, and Fatah publicly backed Hamas's position. Meanwhile, Hamas deepened its coordination with Iran, with senior officials meeting Ali Larijani in Doha and Hamas's military spokesman declaring that any aggression against Iran would be treated as aggression against the Islamic nation — a declaration that acquired new significance after the February 28 strikes. The IDF, for its part, drew up plans for a renewed Gaza offensive and established weapons collection points along the buffer zone, while Defense Minister Katz declared Israel would not withdraw from the zone by even a millimeter until Hamas fully disarmed.

Israel's IDF Prepares New Gaza Offensive Plans; Issues Disarmament Ultimatum

The Israeli military began drawing up plans for a renewed offensive in Gaza aimed at disarming Hamas by force, as the ceasefire remained under strain. Israel issued Hamas a formal 60-day ultimatum to disarm or face a return to war, with cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs confirming the timeline. Hamas swiftly and categorically rejected the ultimatum, with senior official Mahmoud Mardawi stating no such deadline had been communicated through mediators. Israel also established weapons collection points along the 'Yellow Line' buffer zone and Defense Minister Katz declared Israel would not withdraw from the buffer zone by even a millimeter until Hamas is fully disarmed. The IDF chief visited Gaza and told troops the army would not abandon its demilitarization objective.

Israeli Opposition Fragmented Ahead of 2026 Elections
Bennett, Lapid, and Gantz traded accusations and staked out competing positions as the Israeli opposition struggled to unify ahead of the October 2026 elections.

Naftali Bennett declared that Israel's leadership must change after what he called the greatest disaster in the country's history, hired Trump-linked U.S. political consultants, and called for a national unity government modeled on the historic Peres-Shamir arrangement — a proposal opposition figures sharply criticized. Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz exchanged accusations of political cowardice as tensions within the opposition bloc intensified, with Lapid warning the liberal bloc risked losing the 2026 election if internal divisions persisted. Lapid and Netanyahu clashed over Qatar lobbyist meeting allegations, and the Central Elections Committee ordered Likud to remove a doctored image falsely depicting Bennett alongside Arab party leaders. Polls showed conflicting results, with one survey projecting the opposition at 60 seats and another showing the right-wing coalition at 66 seats.

Hamas Consolidates Gaza Control Despite Governance Handover
Hamas reinforced its grip on Gaza through loyalist appointments and tax collection even as it formally handed governance to a technocratic committee.

Hamas is reinforcing its grip on the Gaza Strip by appointing loyalists to key government positions and resuming tax collection, according to reports, signaling intent to maintain administrative and political dominance despite international pressure to disarm. Hamas's military spokesman Abu Obeida warned that collaborators and undercover agents working with Israeli forces in Gaza would face severe consequences. Israel protested after the Palestinian technocratic committee managing post-war Gaza affairs replaced its logo with the Palestinian Authority symbol, with Netanyahu's office stating the logo presented to Israel was completely different from what was adopted. Israeli reports suggested Hamas disarmament is expected to begin only after a technocratic government assumes full control from Hamas.

Multiple sources revealed that the United States is applying intensive pressure on Israel and Syria to conclude a comprehensive security agreement, with an announcement expected soon and Trump reportedly setting a one-month deadline for Netanyahu to finalize the deal. The push for normalization comes amid Israel's continued military presence in southern Syria, where it has established expanded buffer zones and conducted operations against weapons depots since the Assad regime's collapse. Prediction markets assign low but non-trivial odds to formal normalization occurring by end of 2025, with somewhat higher probabilities for a deal by end of 2026. The Golan Heights dispute and the influence of Iran-aligned factions within Syria's new government remain the primary obstacles to any breakthrough.

The Board of Peace — Trump's multilateral reconstruction initiative — held its inaugural formal meeting on February 19, chaired by Trump himself and attended by representatives from roughly 40 countries. The meeting produced pledges of five to seven billion dollars in reconstruction funding, a framework for an international stabilization force of approximately 12,000 police and 20,000 soldiers, and the naming of Indonesia as deputy commander of that force. Indonesia had announced plans to deploy up to 8,000 troops, though it subsequently signaled possible withdrawal over restrictions on its military's operational authority before ultimately committing to a southern Gaza deployment in April. Pakistan set conditions including a joint command structure, and Turkey's offer to contribute troops drew sharp Israeli opposition. The Board's membership question remained politically charged: Mexico declined to join, European nations were criticized by Trump for non-participation, and Saudi Arabia withheld any reconstruction pledge until the contours of a genuine end to the conflict became clear. Middle Eastern member states largely backed a two-state solution framework that Israel formally opposed, underscoring the structural tension at the heart of the initiative.
On the normalization front, U.S. pressure on Israel and Syria to conclude a security agreement intensified in late January, with reports of a one-month deadline set by Trump for Netanyahu to finalize a deal. The obstacles remained formidable: Israel's continued military presence in southern Syria, the unresolved status of the Golan Heights, and the influence of Iran-aligned factions within Syria's new government. Israeli-Saudi normalization also remained distant, with Netanyahu setting conditions requiring Riyadh to distance itself from actors hostile to Israel, and Saudi Arabia declining to move until the Gaza conflict's trajectory became clearer. Netanyahu's announcement of a "hexagon of alliances" during Indian Prime Minister Modi's historic Knesset address in late February — framing India, Israel, and others as a coalition against radical Islam and Iran — signaled an Israeli effort to build alternative diplomatic architecture even as traditional normalization pathways stalled.
Israeli domestic politics remained volatile throughout the period. Netanyahu declared early elections would be "a mistake" and secured temporary relief when the Knesset passed the 2026 budget, reducing the immediate likelihood of a snap vote ahead of the scheduled October 2026 elections. But the political landscape remained treacherous: Netanyahu appeared in court for the 80th time on corruption charges, was summoned for questioning in a new legal case, and faced a Supreme Court order to justify why he had not dismissed far-right National Security Minister Ben Gvir — who had publicly attacked Trump's Gaza team. The opposition remained fragmented, with Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, and Benny Gantz trading accusations rather than coalescing around a unified platform. Polls showed neither bloc commanding a decisive majority. The October 7 accountability debate intensified, with five former Shin Bet chiefs condemning attacks on the agency, former Defense Minister Gallant calling Netanyahu's justification document "a lie," and a report claiming Netanyahu had been aware of Hamas's operational planning as early as 2018.
Looking ahead, the February 28 strikes on Iran are the dominant variable reshaping every other question in this conflict ecosystem. Whether Khamenei survived and how Iran responds will determine whether the region moves toward a broader war or a coerced diplomatic settlement. The Gaza ceasefire's durability is now directly linked to that outcome: Hamas's solidarity declarations with Iran, combined with Israel's 60-day disarmament ultimatum expiring in early April, create a narrow and dangerous window. The Board of Peace's reconstruction architecture and Indonesia's planned April deployment will be tested by whatever military dynamics emerge from the Iran escalation. On the political calendar, Secretary Rubio's scheduled March visit to Israel, the Palestinian Authority's November 2026 election announcement, and Israel's own October election cycle all represent pressure points worth monitoring closely. The central question is whether the Iran strikes produce a decisive strategic shift that unlocks new diplomatic possibilities — or whether they ignite a wider regional conflict that renders the ceasefire, the Board of Peace, and normalization diplomacy irrelevant.
