Gaza Peace Deal: First Phase Agreement

US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the initial phase of a peace deal for Gaza. This agreement comes after two years of conflict following the October 2023 attack by Hamas.

The deal includes several key points. Hamas has agreed to release all hostages, while Israel will withdraw its troops to an agreed-upon line in Gaza. This marks a significant step towards ending the ongoing war and bringing relief to the region.

World leaders have welcomed the news, calling it a crucial first step towards peace. Families of hostages expressed joy and relief at the prospect of their loved ones returning home. In Gaza, people celebrated the announcement, hoping for an end to the violence that has claimed thousands of lives.

However, some important details remain unclear, such as the future governance of Gaza and the potential disarmament of Hamas. These issues will likely be addressed in later phases of the peace plan.
