Starmer expresses ‘profound relief’ after Trump says start of Gaza peace deal agreed
- Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire agreement on Thursday in Egypt, committing to halt fighting and exchange hostages for prisoners.

- While the agreement brought jubilation in both Gaza and Israel, many await further steps and government approvals before a final end to the war is confirmed.
