On October 10, 2025, Israel's Cabinet approved the first stage of a ceasefire plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to end the two-year conflict with Hamas. The initial phase focuses on the immediate release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas, with approximately 20 of the 48 believed to be alive. The broader 20-point plan includes a full ceasefire, Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and the establishment of a transitional governance board led by President Trump. The deal also involves the release of over 1,700 Palestinian prisoners and the disarmament of Hamas. While celebrations erupted in Israel and Gaza, cautious optimism prevails as the plan's full implementation depends on further negotiations and international oversight.
