In a decisive move, the Israeli government has committed to a full ceasefire agreement to end the war in Gaza. A senior official announced that Israel accepts the U.S.-led proposal, which provides a pathway to a permanent end to the fighting, contingent on the release of all hostages and the complete disarmament of Hamas.
This commitment marks a significant moment in the conflict, signaling Israel’s readiness to pursue a diplomatic endgame. By accepting a “full agreement,” the government is indicating it is prepared to move beyond temporary truces and engage in a process that could bring long-term stability to the region.
The agreement is built on a clear set of reciprocal actions. The freedom of the hostages and the surrender of Hamas’s weapons are the key conditions set by Israel. In return, the plan offers a cessation of all military actions and a massive, internationally-funded reconstruction program for the Gaza Strip.
With Israel’s position now officially declared, the diplomatic focus has narrowed to a single point: Hamas’s response. The group must now weigh the benefits of ending the war against the demand to give up its military power, a choice that will have profound consequences for the future of Palestinians and Israelis alike.
