Ceasefire to go into effect within 24 hours of Israel’s cabinet ratifying the deal tonight, says Israeli government.
Israel has signed a ceasefire agreement with Hamas in Sharm el-Sheikh, set to take effect within 24 hours of cabinet ratification, aiming to end a two-year conflict that has resulted in over 67,000 Palestinian deaths. The deal includes the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, though significant disagreements remain regarding future terms and security arrangements in Gaza.
