A four-day truce has been agreed upon between Israel and Hamas, marking the first break in seven weeks of war in Gaza. The ceasefire, which has the potential for extension, was initiated with the release of 24 hostages and 39 Palestinian prisoners. The truce will be extended by a day for each additional batch of 10 hostages released. The hostages, including 13 Israelis, 10 Thais, and one Filipino, underwent medical checks upon their arrival in Israel and are expected to return home soon. The hostages were transported through Egypt, with the International Committee of the Red Cross facilitating the release.
The ceasefire agreement also includes increased shipments of fuel and supplies into Gaza. The aid trucks are the first to reach the area since the war began. Despite the ceasefire, the Israeli Prime Minister plans to continue the war after the truce, indicating that the ceasefire does not mean an end to the Israeli campaign in Gaza.
The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 13,300 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis killed. The Israeli government has summoned the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium after remarks criticizing the bombing of civilians in Gaza. The ceasefire and hostage release have been mediated by Qatar, with heavy U.S. involvement.
The cease-fire is expected to last for four days, with the possibility of extension.
However, the cease-fire does not mean an end to the Israeli campaign in Gaza, as stated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu also insisted that the cease-fire does not mean an end to the Israeli campaign in Gaza. “We will not stop the war after the cease-fire,” he said.
