During the said period 600 aid trucks were allowed into Gaza daily, Israel gradually withdrew from some areas in Gaza and Rafah border crossing was reopened to allow the exit of 50 injured Palestinians daily. Yet the Israeli side obstructed the other phases of the agreement via its unilateral military operation against Gaza Strip on 18-3-2025, triggering the fight resumption there.<br \/>\nJ \u2013 In April 2025, Brokers successfully convinced Hamas to unconditionally release the American Israeli hostage, Alexander Edan as a gesture of good intentions by Hamas to prove it is seriously seeking a cease \u2013 fire in Gaza and responding to brokers\u2019 efforts.<br \/>\nk \u2013 On 15-8-2025, the brokers presented a proposal including a temporary cease-fire agreement (60-day cease-fire- releasing 10 hostages and 18 bodies- aid distribution based on 19-1-2025 agreement mechanism-starting negotiations from the first day between the two parties on the required arrangements for a permanent cease-fire- brokers and the USA to guarantee the sustainability of the cease-fire within 60 days and president Trump guaranteeing the continuation of serious negotiations for an additional period pending the comprehensive agreement) which they pushed Hamas to accept.
