Gaza. Israel and Hamas agreed on the first draft of a ceasefire deal on Wednesday (January 15, 2025), signalling the biggest step yet toward an end to the conflict.
Among other things, the 60-day ceasefire process would involve freeing hostages on both sides, increasing aid, reconstruction of destroyed Palestine, and a cessation of attacks.
These measures have been overdue, with people demanding Israel bring back hostages held by Hamas and international organisations warning about the extreme humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
