What We Know and Don’t Know About Trump’s Deal to End the War in Gaza | News Channel 3-12
The ceasefire deal includes Israeli withdrawal and hostage release, with 20 of 48 hostages still alive, marking a potential end to the two-year Gaza war, officials said.
- On Oct 8, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan, a ceasefire and hostage deal, with Trump saying hostages will be released `very soon`.
- The deal grew from indirect talks in Egypt and forms part of Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza framework, while Hamas says it will relinquish Gaza governance only to a Palestinian technocrat government supervised by the Palestinian Authority and backed by Arab countries that support the plan.
- A senior White House official said Israel must withdraw to the agreed line within 24 hours, after which a handover window would begin; Israel said hostage release was expected to start on Oct 11 with 20 hostages thought to be alive out of 48.
- Mr Netanyahu will convene his government on Oct 9 to consider approval, and Donald Trump is expected to travel to Egypt on Oct 10, marking a potential foreign policy milestone.
- If implemented, the deal could end the longest war in Israel's history and begin an arduous process toward lasting calm, but key sticking points include prisoner demands for Marwan Barghouti and Ahmed Saadat and withdrawal timelines rejected by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Take New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the new darling of the American Left. After publicly demanding a “ceasefire” in Gaza at least 25 times since the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, he even traveled to Washington, D.C., in November 2023 to start a hunger strike …
TRUMP’S GAZA DEAL: The Price Israel Pays for a Morally Bankrupt West
Trump’s Gaza Deal may look like a diplomatic victory on paper for Israel with the hopeful return of all the remaining hostages, but in reality, it hands the Sunni and Shia jihadis exactly what they want - legitimacy, survival, and time. Qatar, Turkey and Egypt agreed to sacrifice Hamas in order to regroup and attack Israel in the future in some other constellation.
The euphoria surrounding the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas masks great uncertainty about the future of the Gaza Strip and, in particular, the rights of Palestinians under Donald Trump's plan. The agreement reached last night is only the first phase of a three-phase plan: a ceasefire, the disarmament of Hamas, and ultimately the establishment of a new government in the Gaza Strip.
