The ceasefire agreement also includes provisions for delivering humanitarian relief to the Gaza Strip, addressing critical shortages of basic necessities faced by displaced residents.

Despite these developments, the future governance of Gaza and its political and security framework remain unresolved. The exchange marks a pause in hostilities rather than a conclusive resolution.
