Overview

• All hostages, living and deceased, are to be returned within 72 hours of the ceasefire taking effect, according to Israel’s government.
• The Israeli military will pull back from selected areas within 24 hours while retaining control over about 53% of Gaza during the first phase.
• Living captives are to be exchanged for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, with large humanitarian deliveries prepared by UN agencies.
• Roughly 200 U.S. personnel, alongside Egyptian, Qatari, Turkish and potentially Emirati partners, will supervise and observe implementation without entering Gaza.
• The cabinet vote passed despite opposition from far-right ministers, and negotiations on a second phase covering disarmament, further withdrawals and governance are set to begin.
