Great news! Early Friday, the Israeli government approved a ceasefire deal with Hamas, setting the stage to suspend hostilities in Gaza within 24 hours and free Israeli hostages within 72 hours. ⏳❤️
Here’s the breakdown:
- Hostage exchange: Hamas plans to swap around 20 detainees for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
- Aid surge: At least 400 trucks carrying vital supplies are expected to enter Gaza each day in the five days leading up to the ceasefire, with numbers rising afterwards. 🚚🌍
As the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross said, “The ceasefire in Gaza is about saving lives and reuniting families.” This deal marks a hopeful step toward relief for civilians caught in the crossfire and a chance to rebuild trust on both sides.
Stay tuned as we bring you live updates on this developing story – because when peace moves forward, every heartbeat counts.
