A new Ceasefire Agreement between Israel and Hamas has entered its final approval stage, marking a significant step toward ending months of conflict in the Gaza Strip. The agreement outlines a detailed timeline for military withdrawal, prisoner release, and humanitarian coordination.
According to official reports, the Israeli Security and Political Cabinet convened at 3:00 PM on Thursday to review the proposed Ceasefire Agreement. One hour later, at 4:00 PM, the Israeli government held a separate meeting to grant final approval. Once the approval process is completed, the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will officially take effect, and the list of Palestinian prisoners to be released will be announced.
Within the first 24 hours after approval—by Friday afternoon—the Israeli army is expected to complete its redeployment inside Gaza. This step will mark a crucial phase in reducing military activity in the area and ensuring stability for both sides.
By Sunday, or 48 hours after the redeployment is completed, Hamas will begin releasing Israeli captives as part of the Ceasefire Agreement terms. This exchange is being closely monitored by international mediators to ensure full compliance from all parties.
In a related development, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to visit Israel on the same day the prisoner release begins. His visit is seen as a symbolic gesture of support for the peace efforts and a move to strengthen U.S. involvement in maintaining regional stability.
Observers view the Ceasefire Agreement as a cautiously optimistic breakthrough, though challenges remain in sustaining long-term peace. Both Israel and Hamas are under global scrutiny to uphold their commitments and avoid actions that could reignite tensions in Gaza.
