Breakthrough in the Gaza war: ceasefire brings hope for hostages!
After more than 15 months of bloody conflict, Israel and Hamas have finally achieved a decisive breakthrough: **A ceasefire was agreed after tough negotiations.** According to reports from NZZ.ch This will come into force on January 19, 2025. International mediators from Qatar, Egypt and the US have confirmed the agreement and emphasize the need to clarify the final details before it comes into force. At the heart of the agreement is a **six-week break in fighting** during which numerous Israeli hostages are to be released, while in return Israel releases more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
Details of the ceasefire
According to the agreement, 33 “humanitarian” hostages, including women and children, will be freed in the first phase. At the same time, Israel is committed to easing its military presence in the Gaza Strip. **Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu** and his team are under pressure to quickly finalize the final details as approval from the Israeli government is required. Loud exxpress.at A security cabinet meeting has already been announced for Thursday to discuss the agreement.
The negotiations must also take into account that the Israeli army remains present in a buffer zone on the edge of the Gaza Strip to ensure security. The hostages being rescued are being held in extreme conditions and some of them may be suffering from health problems. Israeli hospitals are already preparing for the return of these hostages. How many of them are still alive remains uncertain as the Israeli army has already declared 34 of them dead.
While the prospect of peace in the region is welcomed by the overwhelming majority of Israeli society, there are also critical voices on the right-wing political spectrum. Some see the agreement as a capitulation to Hamas' conditions and fear the release of dangerous terrorists. Nevertheless, this agreement could be the first step towards a long-term solution, even if there remains skepticism about the success of the implementation.
