A ceasefire deal promising to release hostages and prisoners is under review in Israel, offering hope for peace amidst ongoing violence in Gaza.

Israel's cabinet debates a ceasefire and hostage release agreement set to begin Sunday, with mediators hoping for an end to deadly conflict in Gaza.

Under the deal struck by Qatar, the United States and Egypt, the ensuing weeks should also see the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. “I think of them, these two little redheads, and I get shivers,” said 70-year-old Osnat Nyska, whose grandchildren attended nursery with the Bibas brothers.Once the security cabinet votes on the agreement, it will go to the government for final approval.

Israel’s ensuing campaign has destroyed much of Gaza, killing 46,788 people, most of them civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry that the UN considers reliable.The ceasefire agreement followed intensified efforts from mediators after months of fruitless negotiations, and with Trump’s team taking credit for working with US President Joe Biden’s administration to seal the deal.
