A proposed U.S. plan for Gaza outlines a 60-day ceasefire, beginning with the release of 28 Israeli hostages — both living and deceased — in the first week.
- The remaining hostages would be freed following a move toward a permanent ceasefire.
In return, Israel would release 125 Palestinians serving life sentences, 1,111 others detained after October 7, and the remains of 180 deceased Palestinians within the same initial week.
- The plan also calls for immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza once Hamas agrees, and for Israeli military operations to stop with the ceasefire’s implementation. Troop redeployment would follow the hostage releases.
- The agreement, backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, aims to set the stage for a lasting resolution to the conflict.
