**Israel, Hamas Agree to Ceasefire in Gaza After Two Years of Devastation**

**Cairo – October 10, 2025** – In a landmark move after two years of devastating conflict, Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The Israeli Cabinet approved the deal early Friday, paving the way for the release of hostages and an end to the war that has destabilized the Middle East.

The agreement includes the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas, believed to number around 48, in exchange for the release of approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. While roughly 20 of the 48 hostages are believed to still be alive. Hamas is expected to release all living hostages on Monday.

Furthermore, the agreement entails a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Five border crossings would reopen, including the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt. It also would allow aid to flow and withdrawing from Gaza.

Reactions to the ceasefire have been mixed. In Tel Aviv, families of the hostages celebrated with tears of joy. However, in Gaza, the mood was somber, with many expressing grief over the immense loss and destruction suffered during the war.

“I am happy and unhappy. We have lost a lot of people and lost loved ones, friends and family. We lost our homes,” said Mohammad Al-Farra, a resident of Khan Younis.

While the ceasefire marks a significant step towards ending the immediate violence, many questions remain about the future of Gaza. The plan calls for the Palestinian Authority to undergo a sweeping reform program that could take years. The Trump plan is even more vague about a future Palestinian state.

The Trump plan calls for Israel to maintain an open-ended military presence inside Gaza, along its border with Israel. The U.S. will lead a massive internationally funded reconstruction effort.

The coming days will be politically crucial for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces challenges from within his coalition and an ongoing corruption trial. However, Trump has expressed confidence that the deal will bolster Netanyahu’s standing.

U.S. officials have announced that approximately 200 troops will be deployed to Israel to support and monitor the ceasefire as part of an international team. The deal is expected to be signed in Egypt, where discussions will continue to address outstanding issues related to the long-term governance and security of Gaza.
