After a long conflict, the Middle Eastern warring group Hamas and the occupying Israel have finally agreed to a ceasefire agreement.
NDTV reported this news on Wednesday (January 15).
The report said that Israel and Hamas have reached a landmark agreement to stop hostilities in Gaza and exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
The report said that the progress comes after months of intense negotiations with the help of Egyptian and Qatari mediators supported by the United States.
The long-running conflict between Israel and Hamas has killed more than 46,000 people.
In addition, thousands of people are displaced, struggling to survive in makeshift shelters.
It is worth noting that the agreement is seen as a significant step towards ending the 15-month-long war. President-elect Trump has been vocal about his desire for a quick resolution, even warning of serious consequences if the hostages are not released.
