Israel controls just over half Gaza

- Israeli forces now control just over half of Gaza territory, yet the truce holds on paper while violence and ceasefire breaches continue. - Hamas still retains weapons and is rebuilding cells in Gaza City, while diplomats press for Rafah reopening and 600 aid trucks per day. - Diplomatic architecture exists, but authority on the ground is contested and humanitarian access remains blocked.
