Israel and Hamas agree to \u2018first phase\u2019 of peace plan, Trump says<\/h3>\n

By Eric Tucker, The Associated Press and Samy Magdy, The Associated Press<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the \u201cfirst phase\u201d of his peace plan to pause fighting and release at least some hostages and prisoners, U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday in announcing the outlines of the biggest breakthrough in months in the two-year-old war.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,\u201d Trump wrote on social media. \u201cAll Parties will be treated fairly!\u201d<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on social media, \u201cWith God\u2019s help we will bring them all home.\u201d Hamas said separately that the deal would ensure the withdrawal of Israeli troops as well as allow for the entry of aid and exchange of hostages and prisoners.<\/p>\n

Hamas plans to release all 20 living hostages this weekend, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press, while the Israeli military will begin a withdrawal from the majority of Gaza.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether the parties had made any progress on thornier questions about the future of the conflict, including whether Hamas will demilitarize, as Trump has demanded, and eventual governance of the war-torn territory. But the agreement nonetheless marked the most momentous development since a deal in January and February that involved the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only way this works is with the rest of the Middle East countries’ buy-in. With a couple notable exceptions of course. It looks like Trump has made this happen. I’ll save a celebration for when the deal is finally done but for now, amazing progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
