The ceasefire was supposed to take effect from 8:30 a.m., but due to the lack of a list of hostages being released from Hamas, it was postponed to a later time. The Palestinian movement attributed the delay to technical reasons.
With the mediation of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, Israel and Hamas agreed to a 42-day cease-fire and announced their commitment to a final end to the fighting. During the 15 months of the conflict, 46,000 Palestinians and about 1,500 Israelis were killed.The first stage of the deal involves the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for about a thousand Palestinian prisoners. Israeli troops must withdraw to the borders of the Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of the truce, humanitarian aid supplies will increase to 600 trucks per day, including 50 with fuel. The Palestinians will receive 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes. The second stage of the deal proposes the release of the remaining hostages, a permanent cease-fire, and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops. According to preliminary data, the third stage is also being developed, which includes the exchange of remains, the restoration of the Gaza Strip and the end of its blockade.
