Trump announces Gaza ceasefire deal: What we know and what's next
"This is the first phase of a 20-point plan announced by Trump last week. United States President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a peace framework that aims at a Gaza ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives and Palestinian prisoners. The announcement follows from Trump's 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza, which he announced last week, and which Israel, Hamas and most of the world broadly welcomed."
"Trump said Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first step of his Gaza ceasefire plan. In a post on Truth Social at 23:17 GMT, he wrote that all captives would be released very soon and that Israel would pull its troops back to an agreed line as part of the deal. Just hours earlier, Trump had told reporters he was ready to travel to the Middle East as soon as this weekend to help push the plan forward."
Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a 20-point peace plan aimed at a Gaza ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives and Palestinian prisoners. The deal reportedly includes Israeli forces pulling back to an agreed line and the imminent release of all captives. The announcement followed the unveiling of a 20-point proposal on September 29 after a White House meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. President Trump indicated readiness to travel to the Middle East to help finalize the plan. A note handed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly informed Trump that a deal was close and urged prompt public announcement.
