Hyderabad: In a landmark development, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a Gaza peace plan, signaling a potential turning point in nearly two years of brutal conflict. The agreement, brokered through indirect talks in Egypt, comes after months of mounting international pressure for a ceasefire and growing humanitarian concerns.
Under this initial framework, all remaining Israeli hostages will be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The plan also involves an Israeli troop withdrawal to a predefined line, allowing for a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza. A temporary ceasefire has been built into the deal, intended to create the conditions for further negotiations toward a durable truce.

The diplomatic announcement has been widely welcomed. U.S. officials described it as “a crucial step toward ending one of the most painful chapters of this conflict.” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other world leaders expressed support for the breakthrough, highlighting the importance of peace, stability, and respect for human life.
However, the situation remains tense on the ground. Reports of intensified Israeli strikes in Gaza City shortly after the announcement have cast doubt on the immediate implementation of the ceasefire. Experts caution that true progress will depend on sustained political will, robust monitoring, and the protection of civilians.
Indian Saints Amplify the Moral Call for Peace
Even though they were not part of the formal negotiations, Indian spiritual leaders have emerged as strong moral voices, reflecting the growing global yearning for peace.

In their statements, spiritual figures including Swami Raghavendra, Sadhvi Madhi, and Sant Korneshwar of the Sarva Dharma Samvad collective condemned the continuing bloodshed and called for an end to violence in Gaza.
“Life is priceless and should not be lost to mindless violence. Killing of children, cries of mothers, destruction of cities and towns, and forced uprooting of families wounds the soul of humanity,” the statement declared.
Their appeal strongly emphasized the principles of international law, human rights, and the sanctity of life. Without claiming credit for the diplomatic process, the saints sought to strengthen the moral and spiritual foundation upon which a just peace can be built.

Their message resonated widely across faith communities in India and abroad, underscoring how moral voices can amplify political momentum for peace.
Global Reactions and the Road Ahead
The Gaza war has left tens of thousands dead and displaced millions, drawing intense global scrutiny. While the Trump-brokered deal represents a rare diplomatic opening, analysts warn it is only the beginning of a long, fragile path toward lasting peace.
International humanitarian agencies are preparing to scale up relief operations, provided the ceasefire holds. Political observers note that trust-building measures, humanitarian access, and accountability will be essential to avoid a return to violence.
