US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Israel and Hamas have reached a long -awaited agreement to release the Gaza ceasefire and hostage, which has created the first phase of its plan to end the two -year war in the Palestinian Enclave.
This development has been described as an important step towards preventing the most deadly dispute in the region in recent decades, followed by months of indirect negotiations and international pressure from both sides to agree with a war.
The announcement reacted sharply by world leaders, with many people urging Israel and Hamas to urge them to fully enforce their promises under this agreement.

“I am very proud to declare that both Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of our peace plan,” Trump said about the truth. “

Prime Minister Shahbaz paid tribute to the “unprecedented misery” of the Palestinian people, saying that their trials should be repeated “never, never.”
He also condemned the “recent provocation in the mosque”, urging the international community to “account for the occupants and illegal settlers” and stop the steps that could endanger the progress toward peace.
He confirmed Pakistan’s commitment to work with Pakistan’s “partners, friends and brotherly countries” to ensure peace, security and dignity for the Palestinian people in accordance with their aspirations and UN resolutions.

“I urge all stakeholders to take advantage of the important opportunity to establish a reliable political path towards the end of occupation, recognize the right of the Palestinian people’s self -determination, and gain a solution to the two states that enable Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security.
“The stake has never been too much.”
‘Essential First Step’
“Hamas needs to release all hostages and Israel will have to withdraw its army on a unanimous line,” Peters said in a statement.
“This is an essential step towards achieving lasting peace. We ask Israel and Hamas to keep working towards a complete resolution.”
Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage agreement after a long wait, which is the first phase of US President Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, killing more than 67,000 people and newly shaped the Middle East.
The agreement, signed on Thursday, also called on Israel to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and allow humanitarian aid to increase in Gaza – two years after Hamas began the conflict in October 2023, two years after the conflict began.
According to an AFP based on state -owned Israeli figures, the announcement came a day after the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, killing 1,219 people, mostly civilians. 251 people were taken hostage in Gaza, where 47 are left, including 25 Israeli forces say it has died.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, at least 67,183 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli military campaign, whose statistics consider the United Nations credible. Statistics show that there are more than half of the dead women and children.
Gaza’s Civil Defense Agency reported the attack a few hours before the deal, and an AFP journalist near the border on Thursday morning heard several blasts.
Global pressure has increased to end the war, in which Gaza was mostly flattered, unannounced famine, and the Israeli hostage families are still longing for the return of their loved ones.
News of the progress made between Israel and Gaza began celebrations in both Israel and Gaza, in which Israeli families demonstrated fireworks, and Palestinians clapped and rejoiced on the possibility of peace.
If it is fully implemented, the closest parties to the deal have come to stop the two -year war, which has renovated the Middle East in Iran, Yemen and Lebanon, and deepened Israel’s international isolation.
Despite the hopes of ending the war, important details are unclear-including the withdrawal of soldiers, the post-war administration for Gaza, and the future role of Hamas.
