Israel’s Army Will Prepare For Trump’s Plan

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel’s army has announced plans to prepare for the first phase of President Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and return hostages. The army has moved to a defensive position and will not actively strike. The announcement follows Trump’s order for Israel to stop bombing after Hamas accepted some elements of the plan. The proposal has international support and was endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Talks are underway for the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Despite progress, questions remain about the plan’s implementation and its impact on Palestinians in Gaza.
