Hamas has announced the release of hostages Doron Steinbrecher, Romi Gonen, and Emily Damari later today

The deal also includes provisions for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, where residents face severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel amidst a worsening humanitarian crisis.

The agreement was “green lighted” after an unexpected delay caused concerns that the deal might fall through due to last minute differences between the negotiating teams of Hamas and Israel.

Aid organizations have emphasized the critical need for "unimpeded, sustained humanitarian aid" to Gaza under the new ceasefire deal.

Zelenskiy criticized Orban’s initiative, viewing it as undermining Western solidarity. Ukraine has consistently opposed peace proposals that do not include full restoration of its territorial integrity and has rejected any ceasefire that could allow Russia to regroup.
