Overview
- Trump used a Knesset address to cast the Gaza outcome as proof of his doctrine, claiming the US neutralized Iran’s nuclear capability and confirming talks with Volodymyr Zelensky about providing Tomahawk missiles.
- The ceasefire stems from a US 20-point framework advanced with Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye, with analysts noting terms that keep Israeli forces inside Gaza and allow a return if Hamas violates the deal.
- All living hostages have been released by Hamas, and the agreement has included releases of Palestinians from Israeli jails as part of the initial implementation steps.
- The administration has decided to send roughly 200 personnel to monitor the ceasefire’s implementation, positioning a small US role to oversee compliance on the ground.
- Reporting underscores a heavy humanitarian toll in Gaza and highlights unresolved issues including Hamas disarmament, the scope and timing of Israeli redeployment, and plans for international oversight and a transitional governance body.
