After 15 months of violent conflict in the Gaza Strip, Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire and a landmark hostage exchange deal. This development follows extensive negotiations mediated by delegations from the United States, Egypt, and Qatar. The agreement, announced by Qatar’s Prime Minister on Wednesday, is set to take effect on Sunday.
The deal includes Hamas releasing dozens of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. The announcement comes after months of intense fighting that escalated following a surprise Hamas attack on Israel in October. . .
