Gaza ceasefire agreement begins
The Israeli-Hamas ceasefire agreement has been announced. The execution of the deal will effectively start on Sunday, January 18.
An overwhelming majority of the global population are of the view that the resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinians are the true winners of this illegal genocidal war, with the Israelis irrefutably defeated.
The US, Qatar, and, Egypt, who played a mediating role in the talks, officially announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached.
Even the US President-Elect, Donald Trump, had posted an entry that confirmed this.
The ceasefire will officially be executed on Sunday, January 18. The Israeli regime, however, has continued its killing rampage.
Israeli approval has been announced. It was not only approved by the Israeli cabinet and the security cabinet, the Israeli Knesset also ratified it.
There now remain questions about the fate of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which lies in the hands of finance minister Smotrich and so-called security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The Israeli security minister, Ben-Gvir, made it clear that he would resign from the Netanyahu coalition cabinet formation. Ben-Gvir is head of the Jewish power party.
His withdrawal cannot bring down the Netanyahu cabinet, as his party has only six seats in the 120-seat parliament, known as the Knesset.
However, Smotrich, leader of the Religious Zionism party, which holds eight seats, can bring down Netanyahu if he opts to quit the cabinet. Netanyahu's coalition would then fall apart, as would Netanyahu.
But Smotrich will not resign since he has been promised, guaranteed up front by Netanyahu, that there would be a return to the genocidal war after the first phase of the war.
According to the National Religious Party–Religious Zionism, "Israel's return to the war will happen immediately upon the conclusion of the first phase of the deal".
Each phase of the deal will last 42 days. Phase one will see 33 captives freed. Also in the first phase, IOF forces would withdraw from Gaza's densely populated areas and allow displaced Palestinians to return to their residences.
A partial withdrawal will take place from the Philadelphi corridor to withdraw from it completely in the later stages.
Military operations will end in the second phase.
Hamas will also release all the remaining living captives, mostly male IOF forces, in exchange for prisoners held in Israeli jails.
In addition, according to the current document, Israel would initiate its complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
Should the conditions of the second phase be met, phase three will begin and will see the exchange of the bodies of the remaining captives in return for a three to five-year reconstruction plan, executed under international supervision.
