Despite a ceasefire agreement brokered in October 2025, analysts and human rights groups, including Amnesty International, assert that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a continuing genocide. They cite over 500 ceasefire violations, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians and pushing the overall death toll past 70,000. The agreement was intended to halt Israeli attacks and facilitate aid delivery, but Israel has continued attacking, restricted aid, destroyed infrastructure, and expanded its presence. Analysts argue the ceasefire provided a facade of peace, allowing the international community to disengage while Israel continues destroying Gaza’s infrastructure, restricting people from returning to their homes and ethnic cleansing, and restricting people from going back to their homes and creating a new reality in the Gaza Strip.

Gaza: Genocide Continues Despite Ceasefire, Say Analysts and Rights Groups

Gaza Strip – Two months after a ceasefire was supposed to end the conflict in Gaza, analysts and human rights organizations are sounding the alarm, stating that Israel’s actions constitute a continuing genocide. Despite the October 10, 2025, agreement, reports indicate over 500 ceasefire violations by Israel, resulting in the deaths of at least 356 more Palestinians and pushing the total death toll in Gaza above 70,000.

“The world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over,” said Agnes Callamard, Secretary-General of Amnesty International, referencing a recent legal analysis by the organization.

The ceasefire, brokered with the backing of the United States, was intended to halt Israeli attacks and facilitate desperately needed aid to the besieged Gaza Strip. However, reports on the ground paint a different picture.

“It’s theatre because everyone was fed up with the genocide and keen for it to disappear and not solve it. And that’s exactly what we’ve seen,” said Muhammad Shehada, a visiting fellow with the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Analysts like Shehada argue that the agreement has served to diminish international scrutiny, allowing Israel to continue its actions with less oversight.

The situation is compounded by restrictions on aid delivery, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and Israel’s continued expansion within Gaza, cutting people off from their homes.

While Hamas fulfilled its agreement by returning living captives and most bodies of deceased captives, Israel has released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and returned the bodies of 345 more who died in its prisons. Many reportedly showed signs of torture, mutilation and execution. However, it has not eased its pressure on the people of Gaza.

“Israel is continuing its genocide in Gaza, but its pace is different; the destruction on the houses is continuing and the killing of Palestinians is continuing, and the Israeli yellow line of occupation in the Gaza Strip is part of the genocide,” said defence analyst Hamze Attar.

Critics argue that these actions, alongside Prime Minister Netanyahu’s stated goal of dismantling Hamas, point to a larger objective.
