Map of Gaza shows how Israeli forces will withdraw under ceasefire deal
"ALL the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed upon line. The agreed upon line refers to a vague map shared by Trump on October 4, showing an initial Israeli withdrawal zone marked in yellow, later dubbed the yellow line by Trump officials. After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas."
"By Sunday or Monday, Hamas is expected to release about 20 living captives, along with the bodies of about 25 others, while Israel will free some 2,000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons. Final details have yet to be confirmed. Israel currently controls more than 80 percent of Gaza's 365sq km (141sq miles) area, including areas under forced evacuation orders or designated by Israel as military zones."
United States President Donald Trump announced that Hamas and Israel agreed on the first phase of a ceasefire and captive-exchange plan. The plan requires Israel to withdraw its troops to an agreed 'yellow line' initial withdrawal zone. When Hamas confirms, the ceasefire becomes immediately effective and hostage and prisoner exchanges will begin. By Sunday or Monday, Hamas is expected to release about 20 living captives and the bodies of about 25 others, while Israel will free around 2,000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons. Based on the October 4 map, Israel will remain in control of nearly 60 percent of Gaza, including several previously populous neighbourhoods.
