Hamas’s partial acceptance of Donald Trump’s Gaza deal has gained international attention and is the closest Israel and Hamas have come in two years to ending the war in Gaza.

Progress Towards a Potential Agreement

Negotiators from Israel, Hamas, Palestinian groups, and the US will meet in Cairo to discuss remaining issues with Trump’s 20-point proposal. This has led to optimism as leaders call for a resolution.

Trump’s plan includes conditions: Hamas must release hostages within 72 hours, transfer power, and disarm, while Israel would withdraw its troops and return Palestinian prisoners. Hamas has only agreed to some points, seeking further talks on disarmament and troop withdrawal.

Negotiation Details and Timeline

Negotiations set to begin tomorrow in Cairo are expected to yield results soon. Trump is eager to finalize a deal before the two-year mark of the war and the Nobel Peace Prize announcement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed hope for a deal to bring hostages home quickly. Negotiators will need to address gaps regarding troop withdrawal and disarmament expectations.

Remaining Issues to Resolve

Both Hamas and Israel have concerns heading into negotiations. Hamas has traditionally resisted disarmament and remains uncertain about this agreement, while Trump and Israel are firm on this condition.

Netanyahu’s vague stance on troop withdrawal suggests Israeli forces may not leave Gaza completely. Achieving a deal will require clear commitments from both sides, especially regarding Israeli troop presence and Hamas’s disarmament.
