Israel's cabinet approves ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas

Israel's cabinet has approved a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The agreement includes a four-day pause in fighting, during which Hamas will release 50 hostages, specifically women and children, in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. The ceasefire aims to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, with the potential for extending the truce if more hostages are released. This deal comes after weeks of intense negotiations and represents a temporary halt to the violence that has seen significant casualties and displacement in the region. The agreement was met with mixed reactions, with some seeing it as a step towards peace, while others, particularly from the right-wing factions in Israel, view it as a concession to Hamas.
