Article by Eli Gerzon about an Electronic Intifada Livestream podcast episode discussing the October 2025 ceasefire deal as it went into effect, drawing on reporting by Jeremy Scahill based on direct discussions with Hamas negotiators. The piece examines Palestinian celebrations in Gaza at the announcement, the content of the agreement including the release of Palestinian prisoners and the retreat of Israeli forces, and the critical assessment by analysts that Israel did not agree to disarmament or demilitarization. The analysis situates the October 2025 deal within the broader history of ceasefire agreements that Israel has violated. Recommended for researchers and students studying the October 2025 ceasefire agreement and Palestinian responses to it, with particular value for the reporting on Hamas negotiators' perspectives and the critical framing of what the deal did and did not achieve for Palestinians.
