Trump-Brokered Gaza Ceasefire Takes Hold as Hostages Freed, US Moves to Send Monitors

Trump presents the outcome as validation of “peace through strength”, with core questions on disarmament, withdrawal and governance still unresolved.

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.
