The ongoing conflict and stalled peace talks continue to create uncertainty in the region, potentially affecting energy markets and defense stocks. The lack of a durable ceasefire may prolong instability, impacting investor sentiment toward Israeli and Palestinian-related assets.
On July 30, 2026, Israeli airstrikes killed at least four Palestinians, including two children, in Gaza as mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey held talks with Hamas in Cairo to advance the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan. The plan, overseen by the Board of Peace, calls for a surge in humanitarian aid, a civilian Palestinian administration, disarmament of Hamas, withdrawal of Israeli forces, and deployment of an international force. Progress has stalled over Hamas's refusal to fully disarm. A Hamas official described the group's response as 'positive and good' but did not confirm disarmament. Sources said Hamas is willing to confine heavy weapons under a Palestinian body. The diplomat involved said the roadmap includes decommissioning all weapons and transferring authority to the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel intends to expand its control to 70% of Gaza. Since the ceasefire took effect, over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks, while four Israeli soldiers have died.
