A truce agreement is concluded a week before Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House
Indirect negotiations for a truce associated with the release of hostages intensified before the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House on January 20, in a climate of increasing international pressure on the different parties.
The 47th president of the United States recently promised “hell” in the region if the hostages were not freed before his return to power.
The second truce agreement since the start of the war
It is the first negotiated ceasefire since November 2023. A week-long truce then went into effect, more than a month after the start of the war on October 7, which allowed the release of several Israeli hostages against Palestinian prisoners. Since then, negotiations have been met with intransigence on both sides.
