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.

- 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.
