Israel and Hamas agree to cease-fire deal, aiming to end 15-month war amid regional tensions and hostages’ release.

Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement to pause fighting in the Gaza Strip, as confirmed by Arab mediators and an Israeli official. This agreement presents a potential end to a 15-month conflict that has devastated the region and raised fears of wider unrest.

Despite ongoing disputes regarding a permanent ceasefire, both sides agreed to move forward with the current deal. The terms resemble those previously proposed, however, significant shifts in circumstances have encouraged this recent negotiation.

Hamas has faced substantial losses due to Israeli military actions that have decimated its leadership and weakened its allies, such as Hezbollah and Iran. Concurrently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strengthened his coalition, diminishing the influence of right-wing factions opposed to a ceasefire whilst benefiting from military successes.

Recent comments from President-elect Donald Trump about potential escalations in the Middle East if hostages are not released have added urgency to the situation. His remarks suggest dire consequences for Hamas and others.

Onlookers in Tel Aviv celebrated news of the ceasefire while Palestinians in Khan Younis sought updates. Negotiations, involving Trump’s Middle East envoy and officials from multiple nations, occurred in Doha, Qatar.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
