Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to first phase of Gaza peace deal, paving way for ceasefire

• US President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of his Gaza peace deal – what we know so far at a glance

• The agreement would see the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the entry of aid into Gaza

• Israel’s government will meet at around 14:00 Jerusalem time (12:00 BST) and if it formally approves the deal, a ceasefire will go into effect

• The US says all the remaining Israeli hostages would be released on Monday – here’s a timeline of possible next steps

• Hamas confirms the deal, but a Palestinian source tells the BBC it has not yet received the final list of prisoners that Israel plans to release in exchange

• This is a significant moment but there is no guarantee that a peace deal for Gaza will happen, as crucial details still need to be worked out, writes Hugo Bachega

• Palestinians in Gaza and hostage families in Israel have been celebrating the breakthrough, which came after intense negotiations in Egypt

• Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the agreement “a great day” for his country, while UK PM Keir Starmer says it is a “moment of profound relief that will be felt around the world”
