On what conditions was the war stopped?

 Based on the available information and the context surrounding the X post by

, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in January 2025 was a temporary agreement mediated by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar. However, specific details about the exact conditions under which the war was initially stopped are not fully detailed in the provided web results or the post itself. I can infer and synthesize the likely conditions based on the related web content and the broader historical and current context as of June 25, 2025. Here's an analysis:

Likely Conditions of the January 2025 Ceasefire

Hostage Release:

The ceasefire included a phased release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. According to the Brookings Institute article, in the first 42 days, Hamas was to release 33 Israeli hostages, including women, the elderly, those with severe humanitarian cases, and two young children from the Bibas family. This suggests a key condition was the exchange of hostages, a common element in previous Israel-Hamas ceasefires.

Partial Withdrawal or Pause in Israeli Military Operations:

Israeli officials indicated that the ceasefire was not intended to end the war definitively while Hamas remained a governing force in Gaza. The agreement likely involved a temporary halt to Israeli military offensives, with the understanding that a second phase would involve the exile of remaining Hamas leadership and their exclusion from governance. This implies the ceasefire was conditional on Hamas agreeing to these future terms, which they reportedly resisted.

Humanitarian Access:

The UN report (A/79/739) emphasizes the need for a ceasefire to allow increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza, including essential supplies for survival. A condition of the ceasefire likely included easing access and movement restrictions to facilitate aid delivery, though the report notes these conditions were not fully met, contributing to ongoing humanitarian crises like child deaths from hypothermia in late 2024 and early 2025.

Commitment to Further Negotiations:

Historical precedents, such as the Oslo Accords and Camp David Accords, suggest that ceasefires often include commitments to resume peace talks. The January 2025 ceasefire likely involved an agreement to negotiate the exile of Hamas leadership and potentially discuss a long-term resolution, though Israeli insistence on direct talks and an end to Palestinian "terrorism" (as noted in past contexts like the Beirut Summit) indicates this was a contentious point.

Breakdown of the Ceasefire

Initial Phase (January 2025): The ceasefire began with the release of hostages and a pause in major hostilities, aimed at addressing immediate humanitarian needs and stabilizing the situation. However, Israeli officials' statements suggest this was a tactical pause rather than a permanent peace.

Collapse (March 2025): The ceasefire likely collapsed due to Hamas's refusal to accept the exile of its leadership or due to renewed Israeli military actions, possibly triggered by security concerns or violations of the agreement terms. The renewed offensive in March 2025, as mentioned in your query context, worsened conditions in Gaza, indicating the conditions were not sustainably met.

Current Context (June 25, 2025)

The escalation following the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on June 22, 2025, may have further complicated the situation. Iran’s reduced air defense capabilities and Hamas’s reliance on Houthi support (post-Lebanon ceasefire) suggest that regional dynamics influenced the ceasefire's fragility. The question of what Palestinians gained remains relevant, as the ceasefire's collapse and ongoing conflict have left Gaza in a dire state, with famine-like conditions reported.

Conclusion

The war was stopped in January 2025 under conditions that included the release of 33 Israeli hostages, a temporary halt to Israeli military operations, improved humanitarian access, and a framework for future negotiations involving Hamas leadership exile. However, these conditions were not fully realized, leading to the ceasefire's breakdown by March 2025. The lack of tangible benefits for Palestinians, as

’s post implies, reflects the failure to address their governance, security, or reconstruction needs, a pattern seen in past peace processes like the Oslo Accords.

For more precise details, real-time updates from official statements by Israel, Hamas, or mediators (U.S., Egypt, Qatar) as of June 25, 2025, would be needed, but the above is a reasoned synthesis based on available data. Would you like me to explore any specific aspect further?
