<h1>Peace agreement outlines immediate ceasefire, hostage-prisoner exchanges, phased troop withdrawal, international security presence, reconstruction obligations and legal risks</h1> A State and a militant group agreed to the first phase of a Gaza peace plan providing for an immediate ceasefire, the release of remaining hostages in exchange for prisoners, and phased withdrawal of State forces from much of the territory, subject to an international security presence and a large reconstruction program. Key legal issues include enforceability of ceasefire obligations, verification and sequencing of hostage releases and detainee transfers, mechanisms for disarmament and governance transition, and the roles and responsibilities of international forces and funders. Continued strikes and disputed implementation raise risks of treaty breach and potential international-law claims.
