YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan. Hamas has agreed to release all remaining hostages, both alive and dead. The release could begin as early as Sunday evening.

In exchange, Israel will release around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including hundreds serving life sentences, and the Israel Defense Forces has completed its initial partial withdrawal in Gaza.

The deal marks a historic moment after over two years of war—for the families who have fought tirelessly to bring their loved ones home, for the hostages who have endured months of starvation and abuse, and for the Gazan civilians who have been living under two years of relentless war.

Still, critical questions remain: What happens next? Will Hamas agree to disarm and relinquish control of Gaza in phase two and allow Gaza to be rebuilt?

Early signs suggest otherwise. Over the weekend, Hamas reportedly began to execute Palestinian rivals in the streets in an effort to maintain control.

Join us for a vital discussion on this historic moment—and what it means for Israel, Gaza, and the future of this conflict.
