President Donald Trump said on social media that the Israeli and Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have agreed on the first phase of the US-mentioned ¡°peace plan.¡± This means that ¡°all detainees will be released soon¡± and that the Israeli army will also withdraw to the boundaries agreed by both sides. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he would hold a government meeting to approve the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas.
