Starmer expresses ‘profound relief’ after Trump says start of Gaza peace deal agreed
The ceasefire includes Israeli troop withdrawal, release of all hostages and prisoners, and daily entry of 400 aid trucks into Gaza, aiming to halt a war that killed over 67,000 people.
- Announced by mediators in Egypt and Qatar, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire as the United States joined the announcement.
- After two years of war sparked by October 7, 2023, mediators pushed for a deal building on U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point plan and efforts by Egypt and Qatar.
- The first phase specifies a swap of 20 living hostages for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, with handovers due within 72 hours of approval.
- If approved at the cabinet meeting, the ceasefire would take effect immediately and moves to free hostages would begin, sparking celebrations among hostage families at Tel Aviv Hostages square.
- Despite the agreement, humanitarian warnings and damage levels underscore fragility as key questions remain about Gaza governance and Hamas disarmament, with more than 90% of Gaza's housing damaged or destroyed.
