Historic Ceasefire Agreement Set to Change Gaza Dynamics

A crucial agreement involving a ceasefire and hostage deal, as part of former U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, is set to be signed today. This marks a milestone in efforts to end a devastating conflict in Gaza that claimed over 67,000 lives and altered the Middle East's landscape.

A source familiar with the developing situation revealed to Reuters on Thursday that the first stage of former U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza is approaching a significant milestone with the expected signing of a critical agreement.

Scheduled for 12 p.m. Israel time (0900 GMT), the agreement anticipates the immediate implementation of a ceasefire in the Gaza region.

This agreement emerges from mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas, marking the first phase of an initiative aimed at terminating a prolonged conflict in Gaza, which has caused immense loss of life and reshaped Middle Eastern affairs.
