<h1>State and Armed Group Agree Temporary Ceasefire with Hostage-Prisoner Exchange, Phased Troop Withdrawals, Humanitarian Crossings</h1> A state and an armed group agreed to a temporary cessation of hostilities and an exchange: the armed group will release remaining hostages and the state will free designated prisoners, subject to parliamentary approval. The pact includes phased troop withdrawals with mapped redeployments, reopening of border crossings for humanitarian aid, publication of prisoner lists with a 24-hour objection window, and proposals for an international security force and reconstruction program. Key legal uncertainties remain regarding disarmament, governance of the territory, enforcement mechanisms, and compliance amid continuing limited military strikes and political opposition to aspects of the deal.
