This scorecard evaluates the performance of the ceasefire agreement outlined in the Trump administration’s 20-point Gaza plan, as endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. It assesses progress against the plan’s stated objectives related to civilian protection, humanitarian access, reconstruction and economic development, and freedom of movement.
The ceasefire agreement was presented not simply as a mechanism to pause the fighting, but as the foundation for a fundamentally improved reality in Gaza—one that would deliver stability, humanitarian relief, and the beginnings of recovery. It received the full weight of Security Council endorsement, and the backing of a broader group of UN Member States—all of whom committed to improving the conditions for Palestinians in Gaza. The agreement itself was the result of intensive diplomacy and generated hope among policymakers and affected communities alike that it could mark a turning point.
Six months on, that hopeful promise remains largely unfulfilled. While the agreement secured the release of Israeli hostages and some Palestinian detainees and reduced the intensity of hostilities, attacks have continued and the broader framework has failed to address Gaza’s overlapping displacement and humanitarian crises in a meaningful and sustained fashion.
