Deep dives
Overview of the Ceasefire Deal
The recent ceasefire deal is structured into three phases, with the initial phase focusing on a six-week ceasefire meant to create a pathway for negotiating a lasting end to hostilities between Israel and Hamas. As part of this agreement, Hamas will release 33 hostages taken during the October 7 attack, while Israel will release dozens of Palestinian prisoners in return. Additional elements include Israeli troops withdrawing to a buffer zone and increased humanitarian aid entering Gaza, which is vital due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region. However, some hostages, primarily military-aged men, will remain in captivity, with their fate left for future negotiations after 16 days of the ceasefire.
