Timeline of the Gaza Deal Implementation
After Trump’s announcement that Israel and Hamas signed the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan, here’s how the coming days will unfold:
Thursday (Oct 9)
· 12:00 PM Cairo time — Signing ceremony of the agreement; ceasefire goes into effect on the ground.
· Israel’s security cabinet (5 PM) and government (6 PM) meet to finalize approval.
· Following approval, a 72-hour countdown begins for Hamas to release all living hostages “in one fell swoop,” without public ceremonies.
· Within 24 hours, the IDF will withdraw to the agreed “Yellow Line,” leaving Israel in control of ~53% of Gaza.
Friday: IDF completes its redeployment to the Yellow Line.
Saturday–Monday
· Hostage release expected. Trump hinted “everyone will return on Monday.”
· Trump arrives in Israel Sunday; may address the Knesset.
· Simultaneously, Israel will free ~1,950 Palestinian prisoners, including: 1,700 Gazans detained since Oct 7, 2023 & 250 Palestinians serving life sentences
The deal excludes Hamas’s Nukhba Force members and top commanders like Marwan Barghouti.
By Monday, all living hostages are to be released, Israeli forces redeployed, and the first phase of the Trump plan completed.

The women go to the tomb carrying spices because when someone you love dies, you do the next right thing. You don’t expect miracles. You expect maintenance. You expect a body. You expect final.
They do not get final.
The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. And somewhere nearby, a group of guards is having the worst workday review in Roman history. Imagine being paid to guard death itself and then having to explain to your supervisor that, yes sir, the grave escaped. One minute you’re standing there with a spear, the next minute an angel shows up like lightning, the ground shakes, and you wake up realizing the thing you were guarding walked out. Career change imminent.
Two angels tell the women, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead". Which feels gentle until you realize it’s also Heaven saying, you’re shopping in the wrong aisle. He told you this. You ...
