Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire in Gaza

After 15 months of conflict, a glimmer of hope in the Middle East.

Following intense negotiations, Israel and Hamas have arrived at a ceasefire deal to end more than 15 months of war in Gaza. All Israeli hostages being held by Hamas will be released, while Israel鈥檚 soldiers will withdraw fully from Gaza, and allow 600 aid trucks per day to enter the devastated territory. Despite outgoing US president Joe Biden鈥檚 insistence that the terms of the deal are similar to what his administration had put before both parties back in May, the man waiting to take his place in the White House, Donald Trump, is already taking credit for getting Hamas and the Israeli government to the agreement.

The 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet joins The Global Story鈥檚 Jonny Dymond to break down the terms of this landmark agreement, and tells us how the warring parties ultimately arrived at an accord.
