💨 Abstract

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal, ending a 15-month conflict in Gaza. The agreement involves the release of 98 hostages, including Israelis and foreigners, in return for 240 Palestinian prisoners. The deal comes after over a year of hostage negotiations, including rescue operations and political pressure. However, the truce is only temporary as both sides have different expectations for a permanent solution.
