Overview

  • The truce entered into force at 09:00 GMT, with Israeli troops beginning redeployments and positioning along agreed lines in several Gaza areas.
  • Israel says all captives, living and deceased, are due for release within 72 hours of the cease-fire’s start, with officials now counting about 48 held, including roughly 20 alive.
  • A Hamas official reports that living hostages will be exchanged for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, conditioned on specific Israeli pullbacks and increased humanitarian aid.
  • About 200 U.S. military personnel under CENTCOM will supervise and observe implementation alongside regional partners, with officials stating they will not operate in Gaza.
  • Second-phase talks on disarmament and deeper withdrawals are set to open as President Trump plans a regional trip for an official signing, despite opposition from some Israeli ministers.
