US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel hasaccepted the "first phase" of the withdrawal of troops from Gaza, so it only needs Hamas's yes now to make the ceasefire effective.

"After the negotiations, Israel has accepted that initial phase that we have shared with Hamas and shown to it, but Hamas must confirm it," Trump explained in a message posted on the social network Truth Social.

Once approved by both sides, "the exchange of hostages and prisoners will begin and for the next phase we will define the conditions  — which will bring us closer to the end of this 30,000 year disaster — "he said.



Along with Trump's message, you can see an image of the map of the Gaza Strip in which a yellow line represents the "first phase" that the Israeli authorities have accepted.

Earlier this Saturday, the Egyptian Government confirmed that Israeli and Hamas delegations will meet inCairo from this Monday to discuss and report on details of Trump's peace plan in Gaza.

The first phase will involve the "immediate" cessation of attacks and the release of hostages and the exchange of prisoners within 72 hours.
