IDF Begins Pulling Out of Gaza After Israeli Cabinet Backs Peace Deal

The ceasefire deal includes releasing all remaining hostages and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza after a war that killed over 67,000 Palestinians, officials said.

  • Early Friday, Israel's Cabinet approved an outline of a deal tied to President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan to release remaining hostages, marking a key step toward ending the two-year war.
  • The conflict's origins trace to Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas's attack killed some 1,200 and took 251 hostage, igniting the ongoing war with Israel.
  • Under the outline, releases and withdrawals include freeing all living hostages within days, reopening five border crossings including Rafah crossing, releasing around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and publishing a prisoner list with 24-hour objection window.
  • Hostage and prisoner releases are expected Monday or possibly Sunday night, and U.S. officials will send about 200 troops to support and monitor the ceasefire with a multinational team.
  • The agreement leaves unresolved questions about Hamas disarmament and governance of Gaza, while President Donald Trump's plan envisions an open-ended Israeli military presence and U.S.-led reconstruction.
