What we know about the Gaza ceasefire deal

Now the agreement has been formally approved by the Israeli cabinet, a ceasefire is meant to be in effect - though reports overnight suggest Israeli air strikes have continued in some areas.

The Israeli military will now withdraw to a line that will leave it in control of about 53% of the Strip, according to a spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister's office. A map distributed by the White House last week indicates this is the first of three stages of Israeli withdrawal.

The Israeli military said on Thursday that preparations were under way to "transition to adjusted deployment lines soon".

After this, a 72-hour countdown will begin during which Hamas must release all 20 of the hostages believed to be alive. The return of the bodies of the 28 deceased hostages would follow, although it is not clear how long that could take.

Israel would then release about 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli jails and 1,700 detainees from Gaza, a Palestinian source told the BBC. Their identities are currently unclear, but a list submitted by Hamas before the agreement was reached included high-profile figures serving multiple life sentences for deadly attacks on Israelis.

One of the most high-profile prisoners, Marwan Barghouti, will not be released as part of the swap, according to the Israeli spokesperson.

Israel will also return the bodies of 15 Gazans for the remains of each Israeli hostage, according to Trump's plan.

Hundreds of lorries carrying humanitarian aid will also start entering Gaza, where a famine was confirmed by UN-backed experts in August.

Trump's plan specified that 600 lorry loads would be delivered each day, but Palestinian sources said there would initially be a daily minimum of 400, with the number increasing gradually after that.

A multinational force of around 200 troops overseen by the US military will monitor the Gaza ceasefire, according to a senior US official.

The force's makeup is likely to include troops from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the UAE. The official said their role would be to "oversee, observe [and] make sure there are no violations or incursions" of the ceasefire in Gaza.

A second senior US official said no US forces would be on the ground in Gaza.
