# The EFF says it cautiously welcomes the recent US-brokered ceasefire agreement in Gaza with a sense of historical scepticism. The first phase of the peace plan has seen the return of all 20 living Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the remains of four hostages. Approximately two-thousand Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel were also returned to Gaza. The EFF says the involvement of US president Donald Trump in brokering this deal raises concerns, as his administration’s track record does not inspire confidence in the long-term success of this peace initiative.
