00:29U.S. President Donald Trump announced in the early hours of Thursday that Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of his Gaza peace plan.
00:39The announcement came as negotiators from both sides completed the third day of indirect peace talks in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
00:48Trump revealed in a post on Truth Social that all remaining hostages Hamas holds in Gaza will be returned.
00:55Israel has also agreed to withdraw its troops to an agreed-upon line in the first step of this deal.
01:02Trump's first phase of the plan also includes an immediate cessation of hostilities and the commencement of major aid replenishment operations,
01:10but it's not yet clear when those are scheduled to begin.
01:14Earlier, Trump was interrupted by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio as he attended a press briefing, giving him a note which read,
01:23quote,
01:24you need to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce the deal first.
01:30Yeah, I was just given a note by the Secretary of State saying that we're very close to a deal in the Middle East and they're going to need me pretty quickly.
01:40Thank you all. We're going to get peace in the Middle East. That's what we want to do. Thank you very much.
01:45The news has been warmly received by former hostages and the families of current hostages across Israel.
01:53Palestinians also warmly welcome the news and have expressed joy that their suffering may soon end.
02:00Various world leaders have also taken to social media to welcome the deal.
02:07Israelis and Palestinians rejoiced on Thursday after a ceasefire and hostage deal was announced under the first part of a U.S.-backed initiative to end the war in Gaza.
02:21Thank you. You did it. You did it.
02:24The hostages will come back. They're all coming back on Monday.
02:28Under the deal, Israel will partially withdraw from Gaza.
02:40Hamas will free the remaining hostages captured in the Gaza Strip in exchange for prisoners held by Israel.
02:47The release of 20 hostages still believed to be alive in Gaza is expected on Monday.
02:53Another 26 hostages have been declared dead, and the whereabouts of two are unknown.
03:08In Gaza, the news was met with applause, joy and hope that this ceasefire would last.
03:14There are certainly feelings of joy.
03:20There are two years in this war.
03:22There are two years in this war.
03:23In this war, the first time we heard about the news, we didn't talk about the news.
03:29We were convinced of the news.
03:31We were waiting for the news.
03:33We were waiting for the news.
03:35The news is coming for the news.
03:37We were waiting for the news.
03:39We were waiting for the news.
03:40We were waiting for the news.
03:41We were waiting for the news.
03:42We were waiting for the news.
03:45The World Food Programme said there was no time to waste in allowing international aid to reach the Gaza Strip,
03:54where it says more than half a million people are trapped in famine.
03:58We were waiting for Gaza.
04:01We were waiting for the news.
04:02We will be waiting for the news.
04:03We will be waiting for the news.
04:05The agreement, which has been endorsed by both Hamas and Israel, is expected to be signed on Thursday.
04:17Europe welcomes the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas overnight to secure a ceasefire
04:23and to release hostages held in Gaza.
04:25Many leaders stressed that this deal must be a first step towards a two-state solution,
04:30something which Israel has repeatedly rejected.
04:33Although the EU has been lambasted as irrelevant by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
04:38in a recent interview with Euronews, the European Commission says the EU has a role to play.
04:43The EU is well positioned to contribute to President Trump's peace plan.
04:47The EU High Representative has also been quite clear about that,
04:51that we have an important role to play and that we should also be part of that.
04:56This is due to our consistent political and also financial support to both Israel
05:02and also the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people, as well as regional integration.
05:09The President of the European Commission said the EU will keep supporting the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza,
05:15while ensuring the EU will be ready to help with recovery and reconstruction.
05:20The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, stated this opportunity must be used to lay the foundation for a lasting peace
05:27and called for a two-state solution.
05:29For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron also reiterated calls for the two-state solution.
05:35This first phase of a peace plan announced by U.S. President Donald Trump provides for the release of the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages.
05:45It also includes the condition that Israel will release almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners,
05:51allow the delivery of some aid into Gaza and withdraw its troops from most of the street.
05:56The European Commission has launched an internal probe into reports that Hungarian intelligence services tried to recruit EU employees in Brussels as informants.
06:08According to an investigation, undercover agents posing as diplomats at Hungary's permanent representation
06:14allegedly targeted Hungarian staff inside EU institutions to gain access to sensitive files.
06:20Now, this is a matter of operational security, which is why, as usual, I won't be able to comment much,
06:25but what I can say is that we will be setting up an internal group to look into these allegations.
06:30The Commission says it takes the claim seriously and is taking measures to protect staff and information from illicit intelligence-gathering activities.
06:39The report said the network operated under the diplomatic cover of Hungary's EU mission between 2012 and 2018.
06:47The mission was at the time led by Oliver Varnelli, who is now the European Commissioner for Health.
06:54When asked by Euronews, the Commission said no such allegations existed in 2019 when Varnelli was vetted for his post.
07:02The European Parliament has not commented on the case, but says it continues to monitor security risks.
07:08At least five people have been killed over the past day in Russian attacks as Moscow launched an overnight barrage of 112 drones over Ukraine, according to regional authorities.
07:25Three of the victims were in the Sumi region as it came under dozens of attacks, local authorities said.
07:32One local resident of Stepanvika, a settlement in the Sumi region, described the attack.
07:39The two other victims died in attacks on the region of Kherson, according to Governor Alexander Produkin.
07:54The southern port city of Odessa endured a heavy night of Russian bombing.
08:12At least five people were injured and fires broke out across the city, according to Ukraine's emergency service.
08:19As Ukraine's armed forces said, they repelled 87 of the drones, but 22 of them still hit 12 locations.
08:33French President Emmanuel Macron will name a new prime minister by Friday, according to the Elysee Palace.
08:40As outgoing, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu dismissed the possibility of parliamentary elections.
08:47During an interview with local media, Lecornu also ruled out his return to the premiership, but said he believes there's a way forward politically on certain conditions.
09:00I have an intimate conviction that the team that should take responsibility in the future, whatever it is, whatever the choice of the President of the Republic,
09:11must be an team that is completely disconnected from presidential ambitions for 2027.
09:15While some of Macron's former allies have called on him to step down after passing the 2026 budget, Lecornu firmly rejected the idea.
09:26The Prime Minister resigned abruptly on Monday after less than a month in office and less than 24 hours after naming a new government.
09:35The decision prompted the Republicans a key coalition ally to withdraw their support.
09:42And a期待 to the motion on the costs of the Torah and the restrictions, not only the rights of the Secretary of State.
