Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal Awaits Final Approval After Intense Negotiations

The agreement, mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, aims to end 15 months of conflict, with hostage releases and prisoner exchanges at its core.

• The Israeli cabinet is expected to approve a ceasefire deal that includes the release of 33 hostages held by Hamas and over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in phases.
• The 42-day truce, set to begin Sunday, seeks to halt violence after a devastating war that has killed over 46,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis since October 2023.
• Far-right ministers in Netanyahu's coalition have threatened to withdraw support over the deal, citing concerns about its long-term implications for Israeli security.
• Reports suggest Saudi Arabia may play a role in the deal, potentially funding Gaza's reconstruction in exchange for strategic concessions involving Israel and Iran.
• The agreement's implementation hinges on overcoming last-minute disputes, with delays potentially pushing the first hostage releases to Monday.
