Cairo talks begin on Gaza ceasefire implementation: Hamas

Israel’s genocide

US President Donald Trump announced a 20-point plan in September outlining a ceasefire framework that includes the release of Israeli hostages, Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, the formation of a technocratic administration and the deployment of an international stabilisation force, alongside a call for Hamas to disarm.

The first phase of the ceasefire agreement included a truce and prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestinian factions. However, Palestinian sources say Israel has continued to violate the agreement on a near-daily basis.

Under the second phase, Israel is expected to carry out further withdrawals from the territory, while an international stabilisation force would assume security responsibilities, including facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 173,000, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian figures.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025, the Israeli army has killed at least 947 Palestinians and wounded 2,935 others in near-daily attacks, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
