US EditionTrump Orders Israel to 'Immediately' Stop Bombardment of Gaza as Hamas Agrees to Release All Hostages
Hamas agreed to release 48 hostages and cede Gaza control under a U.S.-led plan aiming to demilitarize and rebuild the region for peace, officials said.
- Hamas announced on Friday that it accepted U.S. President Donald J. Trump's 20-point plan, agreeing to release all hostages and relinquish power over Gaza while reserving further Palestinian consultations.
- The Trump administration unveiled the peace plan early last week at the U.N., and Israel supported it earlier this week after pressure from the Arab world and the U.S.
- The deal details include Israel releasing 250 life‑sentence prisoners, hostages returned within 72 hours of acceptance, and Gaza governed by a technocratic Palestinian committee overseen by a Board of Peace chaired by President Donald J. Trump.
- Full aid will be sent into the Gaza Strip upon acceptance, consistent with the 19 January 2025 agreement, and if both sides agree, the war will immediately end while Israel will not occupy Gaza.
- The proposal calls for demilitarisation under independent monitors, including destruction of military infrastructure and weapon buy-backs, while a Trump economic development plan and special economic zone aim to attract investment and create jobs.
