Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of a ceasefire plan brokered by US President Donald Trump.
The deal, announced on October 8, states all Israeli hostages will be released and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed-upon line.
It marks an extraordinary moment two years after Hamas militants attacked Israel, starting a war that has devastated Gaza, dominated global politics and unleashed seismic shifts across the Middle East.
Our panel of editors and correspondents unpacks the details of the deal, outlines the reaction from Palestinians in Gaza and discusses the potential road map for the enclave, the region and Mr Trump's bid for global recognition as peacemaker.
