Gaza Ceasefire Updates: Trump to Meet the Released Hostages

Gaza Ceasefire Updates: The proposed Ceasefire agreement for the Gaza Strip, which outlines a plan to end the two-year-old conflict with Hamas, was to be put to a vote by the Israeli parliament in Thursday. Following the approval of the agreement by the security cabinet, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called earlier Thursday. The Israeli government convened for the meeting.

A middle ground was reached following days of rigorous negotiations in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh. In the Red Sea, Israeli and Hamas negotiators worked out the final elements of a plan based on the 20-point proposal that US President Donald Trump proposed last month. Israel’s ratification votes followed these discussions.

Trump will travel to Egypt and Israel

The truce was negotiated in large part by Donald Trump. He arrived in Israel on Monday morning for a short but significant visit. Trump will visit the hostage families and speak to Israel’s Knesset parliament before heading to Egypt. He’s visiting for a ‘peace summit’ with regional and international leaders, according to the white House. It is anticipated that the US President will spend Tuesday night back in Washington.

Release of Israel-Gaza Hostages: What comes next in the Gaza Ceasefire

The delicate Gaza ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is expected to be crucial during the course of the next 24 hours:

• In accordance with the ceasefire agreement, Hamas has turned over all 20 of the remaining Israeli hostages to the Red Cross. The status of the freed hostages was not immediately updated.
• It is improbable that the bodies of up to 28 other people who are thought to have perished in Gaza would be returned right away.
• Israel will free over 2000 Palestinian prisoners as part of the peace deal in Gaza. This includes over 250 individuals found guilty of attacks that killed or injured Israelis, as well as about 1700 individuals who were taken from Gaza during the conflict.
• It is anticipated that hundreds of assistance trucks will start travelling from Egypt to Gaza. According to an AP report, about 400 trucks were already parked on Sunday. However, Israeli officials stated that the agreement will increase the number of 600 trucks per day.
• Donald Trump began his visit to Israel on Monday morning before departing for Egypt. He is expected to speak to the Knesset and meet with the families of the hostages.
