Israel has agreed to begin a limited withdrawal in Gaza as part of President Trump’s 20-point peace proposal, officials confirmed. The move signals initial alignment with the diplomatic roadmap, though full implementation depends on further conditions.
Under the arrangement, Israel will pull back certain forces from key zones, while still maintaining security control over border areas and strategic positions. The agreement would also trigger reciprocal steps: Hamas is expected to start releasing hostages and cease offensive operations.
Trump celebrated the breakthrough as a “historic step toward peace,” saying the move shows momentum is shifting. Israeli leaders welcomed it but warned they would not compromise national security.
The partial withdrawal is designed to pave the way for reconstruction efforts, humanitarian access, and the establishment of a transitional governance structure—though major disagreements over disarmament and long-term control remain unresolved.
