Hamas has confirmed that it reached a historic agreement with Israel to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The agreement includes the withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces from the region.
According to reports released on Thursday, the deal also ensures the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Both sides have agreed to a prisoner exchange, which marks the first phase of the peace arrangement. Hamas emphasized its commitment to the agreement while maintaining its core principles of freedom and sovereignty for the Palestinian people.
Under the terms, Israel will release 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in return for live hostages. The exchange is scheduled to take place within seventy-two hours of the agreement taking effect. Hamas called on guarantor countries to monitor the implementation and ensure that Israel fully abides by all the conditions.
The group stated that it will continue to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people and will not compromise on self-determination. Foreign media outlets have widely reported on these developments, highlighting the significance of this first-phase deal.
Analysts say this agreement could pave the way for further negotiations and long-term peace efforts in the region. Both parties have expressed cautious optimism, though challenges remain in ensuring full compliance with the terms.
Hamas’s announcement has been welcomed by humanitarian organizations, which plan to coordinate aid delivery to support civilians affected by the conflict. The move is expected to ease tensions and provide immediate relief to the people of Gaza.
International observers note that the upcoming prisoner exchange is a critical step toward building trust between Hamas and Israel. This initial phase may serve as a foundation for broader discussions aimed at lasting peace in the region.
Hamas has reiterated that the safety of civilians and the protection of human rights remain central to its strategy during the peace process. Officials are working closely with international partners to monitor progress and address any violations promptly.
