Overview

• Israel said all parties signed the first‑phase text in Egypt and the cabinet approved the framework, starting the formal countdown to implementation.
• The plan sequences an IDF redeployment within 24 hours followed by up to 72 hours for Hamas to release living hostages and bodies as Israel frees roughly 1,900–2,000 Palestinian detainees.
• Humanitarian agencies are preparing large-scale deliveries, with reporting of about 400 aid trucks per day and UN leaders calling for immediate, unrestricted access.
• Hamas has signaled only a temporary weapons freeze rather than full disarmament, and opposition from Israeli ultranationalist ministers highlights serious execution risks and unresolved questions over Gaza’s future governance.
• President Donald Trump announced the deal and indicated he will travel to the region as mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey move to oversee exchanges and aid corridors.
