Gaza Ceasefire Deal Offers Hope for Peace
A recent ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has brought a glimmer of hope for peace in the region.
Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States signed a joint document on the deal, despite neither Israel nor Hamas attending.
- The ceasefire took effect on Friday, allowing the first major aid convoy to enter Gaza on Sunday.
- A large-scale hostage-prisoner exchange also took place on Monday.
These developments offer a tentative reprieve for the war-battered enclave after two years of Israeli military operations.
However, experts remain skeptical that the ceasefire can lead to a lasting peace, citing Israel's internal political issues and the challenge of rebuilding Gaza.
The question of who will govern the territory once the fighting stops also remains unclear.
According to reports, nearly 68,000 Palestinians have died, and infrastructure and famine have been widespread.
