Hamas Agrees to Israeli Hostages Release Under Trump's Gaza Peace Plan

In a major breakthrough in the long-standing Israel-Hamas conflict, Hamas has agreed to release all Israeli hostages under a peace proposal put forward by former US President Donald Trump. The deal, part of Trump’s Gaza peace plan, also includes handing over the administration of Gaza to Palestinian authorities, paving the way for broader Palestinian independence.

The development comes after nearly two years of ongoing conflict and a weekend ultimatum from Trump urging progress on the hostages’ release. The Israeli Prime Minister's office has confirmed that preparations are underway for the immediate implementation of the plan’s first stage: freeing all Israeli hostages.

Trump described the agreement as historic, calling it “a very special day, maybe unprecedented in many ways.” International leaders from the UK, France, and Italy have welcomed the breakthrough, recognizing the crucial roles played by Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt in mediating the negotiations.

The peace plan aims to stabilize Gaza, promote Palestinian self-governance, and reduce hostilities with Israel. Analysts say this landmark agreement could mark a turning point in Middle East diplomacy, offering hope for a long-term resolution to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The world is closely watching the situation, as the implementation of the hostage release and the transition of Gaza’s administration are critical to maintaining the ceasefire and ensuring the safety of civilians in the region.
