"Trump's 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza stipulates that Hamas release all hostages within 72 hours, surrender ruling power to a transnational authority headed by Trump, and disarm. In return, Israel would gradually withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip and return more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. The deal will also mean a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, parts of which are undergoing famine, and reconstruction funds to the strip, which has been almost entirely decimated."
"The world is watching closely to see if this might finally mark the end of the brutal war in Gaza, which has a series of collapsed peace talks and has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and wounded about 170,000 more. The death toll is widely considered to be an underestimate, as Gaza's health ministry only lists bodies that have been recovered, not the thousands buried under the rubble."
Hamas's partial acceptance of Donald Trump's Gaza deal has generated international welcome and represents the closest point in two years toward ending the Gaza war. Negotiators from Israel, Hamas, Palestinian parties, and the US will meet in Cairo on Monday to negotiate remaining differences in the plan. Israeli, Palestinian, US and Arab leaders urge a deal and momentum has built around talks. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed and about 170,000 wounded, with deaths widely considered underestimated because many bodies remain under rubble. Hamas agreed to three points—hostage release, surrendering power, and Israeli troop withdrawal—but said remaining elements must be negotiated with other Palestinian parties.
