US EditionIsraeli cabinet ratifies ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas
- Israel's Cabinet approved on early Friday the outline of a ceasefire and hostage-release deal with Hamas after nearly two years of war.
- This step follows months of devastating conflict since Hamas' deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages taken.
- The deal involves Israel freeing approximately 2,000 Palestinian detainees, gradually pulling back its troops from Gaza, and reopening five key border crossings, including the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that over 67,000 people in Gaza have lost their lives and almost 170,000 have been injured as a result of Israel’s military operation, without distinguishing between civilian and fighter casualties.
- Hostage and prisoner exchanges are expected to begin Monday, marking a significant move towards ending the hostilities and enabling humanitarian aid delivery.
