A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Qatar and endorsed by the US, is set to begin at 08:30 local time in Gaza on January 19th. As part of this deal, 1,904 Palestinian prisoners will be released in the first phase, and 33 Israeli hostages are expected to be freed. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has declared readiness to govern Gaza post-ceasefire, aiming for a comprehensive peace process that includes withdrawal of Israeli forces. Meanwhile, Israel has reportedly continued its military operations in Gaza, causing civilian casualties despite the ceasefire announcement.
