Israel and Hamas have reached a multiphase ceasefire agreement, marking a crucial step towards ending the war in Gaza, amid significant negotiations mediated by international envoys.
The initial phase of the ceasefire will last six weeks, during which Hamas commits to releasing 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for a larger number of Palestinian detainees.
The total number of Palestinians expected to be released from Israeli custody is around 1,000, indicating the complexity and stakes of the negotiated terms between the two sides.
The war, which began on October 7, has resulted in tragic losses, with reports indicating over 46,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly among women and children, and 405 Israeli soldier fatalities.
