Hamas Praises Trump for Brokered Israel Cease-Fire
Gaza Ceasefire Agreement and Regional Reactions
The ceasefire deal in Gaza has garnered international attention, with Hamas expressing praise for efforts to end the conflict. The group commended actions to definitively halt the war and called for Israel to fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
The agreement stipulates an immediate ceasefire, the release of 48 Israeli hostages, and a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. It also includes disarmament of Hamas and the establishment of a transitional government led by an international body.
The deal involves a significant exchange: Israel will free approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, while Hamas has urged President Trump to ensure Israel honors its commitments.
