What does the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal look like? | DW News

Qatar's Prime Minister has announced a ceasefire will take effect between Israel and Hamas on January 19. Qatar has been playing a key role as mediator in the ceasefire talks. In the US, both President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump announced a deal has gone through. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says final details still need to be worked out.
Thousands were celebrating in in the streets in Gaza and Israel. The deal calls for a stop to the hostilities that started with the Hamas-led terror attack on October 7, 2023. Since then, tens of thousands of Palestinians, and hundreds of Israelis have been killed. In the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Hamas will hand over 33 hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Hey, I gotta question….
I’m 18 and new to history or newly found the love of history. I asked my grandpa about this but he gave me an explanation I don’t think I can repeat....
Why do people throughout history give J€w$ a hard time? And do they deserve it?

[PaulDavidPhotography]

How can you say with a straight face that the hostilities between the two sides only began on October 7th 2023? Nothing of the seven decades of conflict prior to that? It's a convenient way of placing responsibility for Israel's disgraceful actions in Palestine over the past fifteen months upon the victims, but it's a lie.

Bibi misjudged the station of Hamas. Bibi needs to be thrown out and returned to Poland.

[fausiasimjee]

[fausiasimjee]

Bibi's decision does not matter. USA is pushing for the deal. What Israel did to Gaza can never be pardoned.
