Donald Trump praised Hamas for accepting parts of his peace plan and urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza.
Hamas agreed to release hostages and transfer power to other Palestinian authorities while further internal talks continue.
Trump warned halting the strikes would allow safe and quick release of the hostages.
Global Leaders Respond
Trump thanked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, and other nations in a celebratory video.
He described the day as historic but noted final details still needed formal agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed readiness for the plan’s “first stage” but reaffirmed Israel’s original war principles.
Mediators Egypt and Qatar supported discussions, while UN and French leaders urged all sides to end hostilities.
Key Details and Remaining Challenges
Hamas rejected disarmament and demanded consensus among Palestinian factions under international law.
Trump’s plan requires Hamas to release 48 hostages, disarm, and cede Gaza to international oversight.
Israel would withdraw forces, free hundreds of prisoners, and permit humanitarian aid and reconstruction.
The plan placed Gaza under international governance with Trump and Tony Blair supervising but excluded West Bank reunification.
Key issues remain unresolved, leaving many peace plan elements undecided despite progress on hostages and ceasefire.
