**Trump Announces Peace Plan in Gaza; Ceasefire Takes Effect** President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace plan in Gaza. This agreement follows negotiations held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. A ceasefire took effect on Friday, marking a significant step in the ongoing conflict. The initial phase of the plan includes the return of all remaining hostages from Gaza, the release of several Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails, and a partial withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces from the region. In a televised address on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed hope and determination regarding the situation. He stated, "Tomorrow is the beginning of a new path. A path of construction, a path of healing and, I hope, a path of uniting hearts." He emphasized the emotional toll on families of the kidnapped, saying, "I will not rest until I bring back your loved ones." Netanyahu described the anticipated release of Israeli hostages as a "historic event" that brings both sadness and joy. He acknowledged the complexities of the situation, stating, "I know that there are many differences among us. But on this day, and I hope that also in the period that is coming, we have every reason to put them aside." Despite the progress, Netanyahu warned that significant security challenges remain. He noted, "The campaign is not over. There are still very big security challenges ahead of us," referring to the potential for future attacks. The Israeli Ministry of Health is preparing for the return of the hostages, expecting their care to be more complex than previous cases. The Ministry has developed a protocol for treating the 20 individuals expected to be released. According to the Ministry, the medical care will address the risks associated with prolonged captivity, including severe malnutrition and refeeding syndrome. Medical teams will be assigned to the freed hostages, consisting of physicians, nurses, social workers, and mental health professionals. The Ministry stated, "A psychiatric evaluation must be conducted, at minimum, within 24 hours of the released individual’s admission." This comprehensive approach aims to ensure the well-being of the hostages as they reintegrate into society. As the situation develops, Netanyahu reiterated that Israel is ready to receive the hostages. He expressed confidence in the ongoing efforts to secure their safe return and emphasized the importance of unity during this challenging time.
