Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Terms & Conditions Out: 98 Hostages to Be Freed, but What's Next for Gaza?

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical. #IsraelHamasCeasefire #GazaCeasefire #PalestineCeasefire #SteveWitkoff #TrumpOnNetanyahu #HamasResponseToTrump #TrumpThreatToHamas #HostageExchange #PeaceInIsrael #HamasToReleasePrisoners #IsraelHamasCeasefireDeal #HostageRelease #IsraelGazaCeasefireDeal #IsraelAndHamasCeasefire #IsraelHamasWar #Netanyahu
