Israel-Hamas Peace Deal: Hostages To Be Released | Trump Brokers Historic First Phase

After two years of devastation and conflict, hope seems to return to Gaza and Israel. US President Donald Trump brokered the first phase of a 20-point peace plan with Hamas, including the release of hostages and bodies as early as Monday. In exchange, Israeli forces will withdraw to a mutually agreed line and pause attacks on Gaza. The announcement sparked celebrations in both Gaza and Israel. Families of hostages rejoiced, while global leaders including PM Narendra Modi and UK PM Keir Starmer lauded the development. While the deal marks Trump’s biggest diplomatic achievement in his second term, uncertainties remain — Hamas seeks guarantees against renewed attacks, and a White House visit by Trump this weekend is being considered to finalize details. This comes just a day before the Nobel Peace Prize announcement, raising questions about recognition for diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
