US President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a peace framework that will allow for the release of all hostages. In a post on social media, he said the release of hostages is imminent, adding that "All Parties will be treated fairly!". The exchange of the remaining hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners could happen within 72 hours of the deal's implementation. Dr Eyal Mayroz is a lecturer in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney, and he gave SBS's Cameron Carr his reaction to the agreement
