Overview

• Trump said the United States will travel for a formal ceremony in Egypt, declared that "we finished the war," and signaled efforts to recover hostages as early as Monday or Tuesday.
• Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi congratulated Trump, invited him to preside over the signing, urged U.S. support for implementation, and said Trump merits the Nobel Peace Prize.
• Israel’s government is expected to vote on the deal Thursday night, with far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben‑Gvir indicating they will oppose it, though their votes are not seen as blocking approval and neither has threatened to resign.
• Reporting cited by Sky News Arabia indicates the agreement pairs phased hostage releases with a partial Israeli pullback and includes a 72‑hour window to return living captives once approved.
• Trump described a next phase that includes disarming Hamas and withdrawal after releases and said he will abide by what was agreed regarding a two‑state solution, while an activist separately claimed the U.S. provided written guarantees to a Hamas delegation and listed concessions such as immediate aid entry, no West Bank annexation, and a phased Gaza withdrawal.
