Israel and Hamas on Wednesday reached an agreement to advance an initial phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, which will see all of the remaining hostages in the coastal enclave released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, as well as the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Israelis and Palestinians are cautiously celebrating the deal, which paves the way for a cease-fire and further negotiations that could bring a permanent end to the two-year war. Even after Trump announced the agreement, Israeli Defense Forces reportedly continued to conduct strikes in Gaza, a sign of Israel’s readiness to continue the war against Hamas if negotiations fall through in the days ahead.
