# Israel’s cabinet approves the first phase of Trump’s Gaza plan, starting a ceasefire

Date: 2025

## The fact

On 10 October 2025 Israel’s cabinet approved the first phase of a US plan for Gaza, bringing a ceasefire into effect at noon and setting a hostage-and-prisoner exchange. [Netanyahu](/people/benjamin-netanyahu) was prime minister. August 2026 rejection of a later Board of Peace roadmap is a neighbouring later instrument.

## Context

Trump announced the framework. Hamas agreed the first phase in Sharm el-Sheikh. Neighbouring January 2025 pause is earlier. He did not write the entire twenty-point PDF as a unique reconstruction.

January 2025 is an earlier pause. 9 August 2026 is a later rejection of a Board of Peace child document.

The Prime Minister of Israel chairs the cabinet, is the political principal of the IDF, and can table Knesset bills. He does not write a Hamas military order, an ICC judgment, a US presidential proclamation, or a UN Security Council resolution.

## Evidence and sources

Prime Minister's Office of Israel carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: 10 October 2025 cabinet approval and ceasefire start, independently reported.

Not established: that Hamas disarmed, that Israel fully withdrew, or a unique later rebuild coefficient from noon that day.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Trump’s team drafted the plan. Hamas agreed the first-phase text. The IDF still held ground.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Israel’s cabinet approves the first phase of Trump’s Gaza plan, starting a ceasefire, not a later speech about Israel’s cabinet approves the first phase of Trump’s Gaza plan, starting a ceasefire.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Israel’s cabinet approves the first phase of Trump’s Gaza plan, starting a ceasefire on 2025-10-10 is not a licence to treat every later Prime Minister's Office of Israel communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Israel’s cabinet approves the first phase of Trump’s Gaza plan, starting a ceasefire into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He put the first phase to cabinet. Trump’s team drafted the plan. Hamas agreed the first-phase text. The IDF still held ground. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
