Cairo (Egypt): The world is watching what many are calling a “turning point in history”. The announcement came straight from Donald Trump, who declared that Israel and Hamas had signed on to the first phase of his long-awaited Gaza peace plan. The deal promises a halt to fighting, the release of captives and an Israeli troop withdrawal to a pre-agreed line.

The deal, to be signed on Thursday, includes the release of Israeli captives and Palestinian prisoners as well as a surge of aid into besieged Gaza after more than two years of bloodshed.

Palestinian resistance group Hamas would release all captives while Israel would pull its troops back to an agreed-upon line, US President Donald Trump said after talks in Egypt on his 20-point peace plan resulted in a deal.
