What does wording of Gaza ceasefire agreement tell us?

The text of the agreement lacks details and in some cases is vague and ambiguous - perhaps on purpose.

The full text of the agreement has not been made public - but part of it has been published by Israeli media.

It appears to lack details and in some cases is vague and ambiguous - perhaps on purpose.

Even its title, "Implementation steps for President Trump's proposal for a comprehensive end of Gaza War", leaves room for different interpretations.

The full title suggests these are steps for the implementation of the 20-point plan that President Trump announced at the White House last week. The document was agreed after negotiations in Egypt over the first phase of the plan, related to a ceasefire, a hostage and prisoner exchange, and a surge in humanitarian aid.
