The President of the United States, Donald Trump, was the main driver of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, negotiated over several days in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with the mediation of Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish delegations.
At this stage, a ceasefire was agreed in the Gaza Strip, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, the mass entry of humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave and the exchange of hostages for prisoners.
The second phase will address reconstruction, as well as the disarmament of Hamas and the governance of the territory.
The war in the Gaza Strip was triggered by attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023 in southern Israel, in which around 1,200 people died and 251 were taken hostage.
In retaliation, Israel launched a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip, which caused more than 67,000 deaths, according to local authorities controlled by Hamas, the destruction of almost all of the territory’s infrastructure and the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.
