Ceasefire agreement to be signed this afternoon

Israeli Channel 12 said the agreement on Gaza will be formally signed at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, and the government will meet later to approve it.

Israel is expected to withdraw to the agreed lines within 24 hours of signing the agreement, and will remain in 53% of the Gaza Strip until the last hostages are released.

Living hostages are expected to be released on Sunday, without the “release ceremonies” Hamas held previously, and on Monday the bodies of deceased hostages will be handed over.

A senior Palestinian official told the Saudi Al-Sharq channel that “Palestinian factions in Gaza have agreed to the deal, and the agreement includes the release of some senior leaders among the captives.”

A senior Hamas official was also quoted as saying that it was agreed to allow 600 aid trucks into Gaza daily during the first five days after the ceasefire, and that the number would increase later.

It was also agreed to allow 600 humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza each day.
