Netanyahu’s cabinet voted for the ceasefire and that ended days of doubt about whether the truce would take effect this weekend when the prime minister’s office announced that they had voted to ratify a ceasefire and hostage release agreement for Gaza early Saturday. The truce would stop fighting and bombardment in the worst war in Gaza’s history and would go into effect on Sunday.
Additionally, it would make it possible to exchange hundreds of Palestinian inmates from Israeli prisons for the release of hostages who have been detained in the region since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023.
A list of 95 Palestinians who would be released beginning Sunday, “subject to government approval,” was released by the justice ministry. They consist of 10 kids, 16 males, and 69 women.
Since the ceasefire agreement was announced, Israeli strikes have killed dozens of people; the military said Thursday that it had struck over 50 targets in Gaza in the past 24 hours.
The truce will go into effect on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration. Trump took credit for negotiating the agreement with the camp of former US President Joe Biden.
According to the plans set forth by Qatar, phase one implementation will be used to “finalize” the details of phases two and three. The second phase will bring forth a “permanent end to the war,” according to US President Joe Biden.
According to him, it would include a trade for the release of the male soldiers and any other hostages who are still alive. After then, Israel would remove all of its remaining troops from Gaza
The Israeli offensive in Gaza has left over 46,000 dead, of which more than 50% are believed to be women and children. There are hundreds of documented war crimes committed by the IDF, including usage of prohobited weapons and munitions, bombing schools, etc.
