  • After months of negotiating, Israel and Hamas are closer than ever at reaching a ceasefire deal. The National breaks down how the ceasefire could unfold.

The video from MSN discusses the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which was brokered to temporarily halt the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The deal includes a four-day pause in fighting, during which Hamas is to release at least 50 hostages, primarily women and children, in exchange for Israel releasing 150 Palestinian prisoners. Additionally, the ceasefire allows for increased humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, aiming to alleviate the dire humanitarian situation there. The agreement also stipulates that for every additional 10 hostages released, an extra day of ceasefire will be added. This ceasefire is seen as a critical step towards de-escalation, providing a brief respite for civilians caught in the crossfire and potentially opening avenues for further negotiations.
