A historic agreement signed today establishes a six-week ceasefire, under which 33 Israeli hostages will be released in exchange for over 700 Palestinian prisoners.
Key details of the agreement include:
- The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw from central Gaza
- 600 aid trucks will be allowed entry daily
- Palestinians will be permitted to return to the north
- Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. will guarantee the deal
The Israeli cabinet’s vote on the agreement has been postponed until Saturday, meaning the first prisoner releases will take place on Monday, just hours after Donald Trump’s inauguration.
