In a landmark development, Israel’s cabinet has officially approved a Gaza ceasefire and hostage-exchange deal with Hamas — a move that has ignited cautious optimism around the world. The deal, brokered by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, aims to end years of bloodshed and open a pathway toward long-term peace.
Israeli forces are set to pull back from some areas in Gaza within 24 hours.
Hamas has agreed to release remaining Israeli hostages within 72 hours.
Israel will release dozens of Palestinian women, children, and long-term detainees.
Gaza’s border crossings will reopen to allow food, water, and medical supplies.
These measures are seen as a major step toward stabilizing the region and reducing civilian suffering.
πThe international community has reacted with a mix of hope and caution:
UN Secretary-General AntΓ³nio Guterres hailed the deal as a “significant step toward peace and coexistence.”
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called it a “historic moment,” urging both sides to ensure it lasts.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel remains committed to disarming Hamas if violence resumes.
As humanitarian trucks began entering Gaza and families reunited, many across the Middle East expressed cautious joy — and a deep wish that this ceasefire marks the beginning of lasting peace.
While the deal offers a glimmer of relief, experts caution that long-term peace will depend on sustained dialogue, trust-building, and the political will of both sides. Issues such as Gaza’s governance, reconstruction, and full disarmament remain unresolved.
Still, this ceasefire has sparked renewed global attention on finding a permanent solution to one of the world’s most enduring conflicts.
The approval of the Gaza ceasefire deal could mark a turning point for Israel, Palestine, and the wider Middle East. As both nations take tentative steps toward peace, the world watches — hopeful that this time, the calm will last.
