"Israel's government has approved the framework of a deal that calls for the release of all hostages held by the Hamas militant group in Gaza and for the Israeli military to withdraw to an agreed-upon boundary within the Palestinian territory. "The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages the living and the deceased," Netanyahu's office posted on social media platform X."
"The deal was brokered partly by the United States and includes the release of all hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers to an agreed line in Gaza. The Israeli government's approval comes after US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas agreed to "phase one" of his Gaza plan. The release of hostages and a ceasefire are part of "phase one" of the plan, with later phases to focus on the governance of Gaza."
"According to the Israeli government, 48 Israeli hostages are still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Some 1,200 people were killed in the Hamas-led terror attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, and 251 people were taken hostage. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and nearly 170,000 wounded since the war began, according to Gaza's Health Ministry."
