Key Elements of the Gaza Ceasefire Deal

The recently brokered Gaza ceasefire deal outlines critical steps to restore peace between Israel and Hamas. The agreement includes an immediate cessation of hostilities from both sides and the opening of Gaza’s borders to allow humanitarian aid and essential supplies. It also emphasizes halting airstrikes and rocket fire to prevent further casualties. Provisions for prisoner exchanges and discussions on long-term political solutions are part of the deal. Mediated by international stakeholders, the truce aims to ease tensions and address the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. However, skepticism remains over its durability, given the history of fragile agreements in the region.
