A breakthrough US plan for a Gaza ceasefire, involving a phased hostage-prisoner exchange and humanitarian aid, has gained traction as Hamas agrees to the proposal following Israel’s acceptance.
A new US ceasefire proposal for Gaza outlines a 60-day truce along with a phased exchange of hostages and prisoners. The plan would have Hamas release 28 Israeli hostages, both alive and dead, in the first week. In return, Israel would release 125 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life and hand over the remains of 180 Palestinians.
The deal, backed by President Donald Trump and supported by Egypt and Qatar, also includes the immediate delivery of aid to Gaza now that Hamas has signed the agreement.
Under the proposal, Hamas will free the final 30 hostages after a permanent ceasefire is established. The White House confirmed Thursday that Israel has agreed to the terms, and Hamas has now formally accepted the plan.
Previous ceasefire attempts collapsed due to ongoing disagreements. Israel demands Hamas disarm and return all hostages before ending its military campaign. Hamas insists Israel must withdraw its forces and commit to ending the war.
