Trusting Trump: Why Hamas gambled on giving up Gaza hostages
October 2025 256 views 2min 41sec
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a truce deal, raising hopes of peace after two years of devastating war. But does that mean the conflict is finally over? :: What we know about the deal? "Well, first of all, I think it's a very important achievement..." Dr Sanam Vakil, is the director of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House. "...a 20-point plan that has, out of need, been broken up into phases." The deal is the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace initiative. It involves a ceasefire, a handover of hostages from both sides and a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. It was hammered out in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and crucial details are yet to be spelled out. Questions like 'Who'll govern Gaza?' 'Will Hamas disarm? and 'What guarantees exist that fighting won't resume?' remain.
