Following extensive negotiations in Egypt, Israel and Hamas have reached an initial agreement as part of a United States-led peace initiative. The deal, announced by the United States president, includes the imminent release of all hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops to a mutually agreed line. Israeli leadership has expressed strong support for the agreement, with plans to formally approve it and secure the return of hostages. Hamas confirmed its commitment to ending the conflict in Gaza, facilitating humanitarian aid, and pursuing a prisoner exchange. The negotiations were facilitated by mediators from several countries, as Israel and Hamas do not communicate directly. While the agreement marks a significant step, details about its implementation and long-term impact remain uncertain.
