A U.S.-brokered Israel-Hamas ceasefire took effect Oct. 10, 2025, with Hamas to release 48 hostages within 72 hours and Israel to withdraw by midday.

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump, took effect at noon local time on Friday, October 10, 2025, according to the Israeli military. Despite the deal’s approval by Israel’s cabinet, airstrikes and shelling continued in southern Gaza and Gaza City early Friday, including in Khan Younis and neighborhoods like Al-Sabra and Tal Al-Hawa, raising doubts about implementation. The IDF expects to complete its withdrawal by midday, retaining control of about 53% of the territory. Hamas is to release 48 remaining hostages within 72 hours, starting with 20 believed alive. Trump is set to arrive in Israel on Monday.
