Israel and Hamas have shaken hands on a landmark deal, marking the beginning of what could be a turning point in the Gaza conflict. This weekend, as part of a peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, all remaining hostages will be released, and a ceasefire will take place. This initial phase is a glimmer of hope for thousands affected by the two years of relentless fighting.

After intense negotiations in Egypt, mediated by Qatar, the plan has been embraced by both sides. Israeli troops are set to withdraw behind a designated line, allowing for critical humanitarian aid to reach Gaza. In a crucial exchange, 48 Israeli civilians, taken hostage in 2023, will be released, while Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 Gazans held since the beginning of the conflict.
