Despite Momentous Ceasefire, the Path for Lasting Peace and Rebuilding in Gaza Is Precipitous

The ceasefire includes release of 1,968 Palestinian prisoners and 20 Israeli hostages, but concerns remain over Hamas' incomplete return of deceased bodies, officials say.

  • On Monday, Presidents Donald Trump and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi co-chaired a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh where leaders from over 30 nations signed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement.
  • The summit in Sharm el-Sheikh was called to end the war in the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
  • In exchange measures, Hamas released the 20 Israeli hostages who were still alive on Monday morning, handed over four bodies, and Israel reportedly released Palestinian prisoners.
  • Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the handover of four bodies falls short of returning all 28 and any intentional noncompliance will be a serious breach, while the Association of Families of Hostages urged immediate action by the Israeli government and international mediators.
  • With Hamas absent and questions over governance, leaders warned the ceasefire follows a conflict that killed at least 67,869 people in Gaza, while United States President Donald Trump called for rebuilding and demilitarisation.
