Many unresolved questions remain as a ceasefire begins in Gaza

The ceasefire includes the release of 20 hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, backed by US and regional mediators.

  • On Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed a Gaza ceasefire in Sharm el-Sheikh, marking a major step toward ending a two-year war that has killed tens of thousands.
  • US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan preceded three days of intensive negotiations mediated and guaranteed by Qatar, Egypt, Türkiye and the United States.
  • The deal’s first phase exchanges 20 living hostages for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and the 72 hours release timeline starts only after Israeli cabinet approval and withdrawal steps.
  • Bombardment stopped and Israeli troops pulled back in Gaza on Friday, while hundreds of aid trucks will deliver food and medical aid to approximately 2 million Gazans.
  • Hamas agreed to step down from governing Gaza and hand control to Palestinian technocrats, but reconstruction challenges and lack of trust leave long-term success uncertain.
