Iran Press/West Asia: The agreement has been mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, and aims to bring a halt to the violence and provide much-needed humanitarian relief to the people of Gaza.
The key points of the ceasefire are as follows:
Phased Implementation: The agreement will be implemented in three phases over a period of six weeks. Each phase will last 42 days.
Hostage Release: The first phase involves the release of 33 hostages held in Gaza, including two Americans. In exchange, 1,000 Palestinian prisoners will be released.
Humanitarian Aid: Large quantities of humanitarian aid, relief materials, and fuel will be allowed into Gaza to help rebuild infrastructure, including hospitals, clinics, and bakeries.
Military Withdrawal: Israeli forces will withdraw to the Gaza border, allowing displaced Palestinians to return to their homes.
Ceasefire Terms: There will be a temporary suspension of military operations and air activity in Gaza, particularly when hostages are being released.
It's a complex situation, but this ceasefire appears to mark a hopeful step towards peace and rebuilding. But, given the Israeli regime's violation of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon, the question is whether the ceasefire would lead to peace in the war-torn Gaza Strip.
