Breaking News: Ceasefire in Effect, Gaza on Brink of Chaos
Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire agreement, with the Israeli Cabinet voting to approve the deal Thursday evening. The truce is expected to go into effect immediately after the vote.
The ceasefire marks a significant development in the devastating conflict in Gaza, which has left thousands displaced and countless lives lost. According to sources close to the talks, hostages and prisoners are set to be freed within days as part of the agreement.
The deal was reached through indirect talks in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh resort, with President Donald Trump's initiative promoting a peaceful resolution. The first phase of the plan focuses on halting hostilities, paving the way for further negotiations.
As the ceasefire takes hold, Israeli tanks block roads leading to Gaza City, while displaced Palestinians gather along the coastal road. The situation remains tense, but the agreement brings hope for an end to the violence.
