Israel’s cabinet is set to vote on a Gaza ceasefire deal that could begin within 24 hours of approval. The agreement, signed earlier in Egypt, includes Hamas releasing Israeli hostages and Israel freeing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. It also allows 400 aid trucks daily into Gaza for the first five days. Israeli troops will start withdrawing from parts of Gaza. US President Donald Trump called it a “major breakthrough,” while UK PM Keir Starmer welcomed it as “a moment of profound relief.” Palestinians and Israelis celebrated the deal, though experts say lasting peace remains uncertain.
