Starmer expresses ‘profound relief’ after Trump says start of Gaza peace deal agreed

Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire agreement on Thursday in Egypt, committing to halt fighting and exchange hostages for prisoners.
This breakthrough followed two years of conflict triggered by Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack in southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages being seized.
Mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey under U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, the deal initiates Israeli troop withdrawal and major humanitarian aid deliveries to devastated Gaza.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 67,000 Palestinians have died and nearly 170,000 have been injured during Israel’s military campaign, while Trump stated that the hostages are expected to be freed in the near future.
While the agreement brought jubilation in both Gaza and Israel, many await further steps and government approvals before a final end to the war is confirmed.
