Israel and Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement, which will include the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

The agreement signed in Egypt provides for a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The truce will come into effect in 24 hours, and Israel's partial withdrawal from Gaza will begin immediately. Although the agreement has been welcomed by both parties, challenges remain, including finalizing the list of prisoners and the future of governance in Gaza. The agreement is considered a major diplomatic achievement, with international support, but there is also internal opposition in Israel. The war has led to huge losses, with over 67,000 Palestinians killed.
