What do we know about the Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal?
Al Jazeera
Ceasefire reportedly agreed, including a prisoner exchange and aid surge, after more than 460 days of conflict.
The Palestinian group Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire deal with Israel after more than 460 days of a war that has devastated Gaza.
Israel has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians since its war on the enclave began in October 2023. It has yet to officially respond to the deal, but a government vote is expected on Thursday, and US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that a deal has been agreed upon.
The reported deal includes a temporary ceasefire that will, for now, bring to an end the destruction visited upon Gaza, as well as the release of captives held in Gaza and many of the prisoners held by Israel. The deal will also, finally, allow displaced Palestinians to return to their homes – though after Israel’s deliberate destruction campaign, many homes no longer remain.
The text of the deal has not been officially released yet, but this is what we know so far.
The initial phase will last six weeks, and will involve a limited prisoner exchange, the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops in Gaza and a surge of aid into the enclave.
