Fragile Breakthrough: Israel and Hamas Agree to First Phase of Ceasefire Plan

Israelis celebrate as they react to the news of the Gaza peace deal at Hostages Square on Thursday in Tel Aviv, Israel.



After more than two years of devastating conflict, Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire plan, sparking cautious optimism across the region. The deal, announced by President Donald Trump, includes the release of hostages held in Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli troops to agreed positions, and the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries.

The agreement marks the most significant diplomatic progress since the war began, which has left Gaza in ruins and claimed tens of thousands of lives. Negotiations, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, culminated in the announcement that all remaining hostages—both living and deceased—will be returned to Israel, while nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be freed.

Reactions have been mixed. Families of hostages celebrated the news with fireworks in Tel Aviv, while leaders in Gaza hailed the withdrawal of Israeli forces as a “victory for resilience.” Internationally, governments have welcomed the development but warned that the true test lies in implementation.

For civilians on both sides, the ceasefire offers a glimmer of relief after years of relentless violence. Yet, with deep mistrust and unresolved political questions, the path to lasting peace remains uncertain.
