Overview

  • Israel's cabinet approved the framework late Thursday, triggering a 24-hour deadline to pull forces back to a designated 'yellow line' inside Gaza.
  • After that repositioning, Hamas must release roughly 20 surviving hostages and return bodies within 72 hours, as Israel frees about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners including 250 serving life terms.
  • International teams will monitor compliance, with about 200 U.S. personnel deployed in the region to observe the truce, and no plans to send U.S. troops into Gaza.
  • Formal signing is planned in Egypt under U.S., Qatari, Egyptian and Turkish auspices, with President Trump crediting U.S. mediation, pledging reconstruction support and preparing to travel.
  • Humanitarian deliveries are set to scale up and Israeli forces would reduce their footprint, while disputes over Hamas disarmament and Gaza’s governance remain unresolved despite Hamas leaders declaring the war over.
