Israel’s security cabinet voted on Friday to approve a ceasefire agreement with Gaza, according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
The decision marks a significant step toward ending hostilities, with the full cabinet expected to convene later in the day for final approval of the agreement.
This move comes after days of escalating tensions and conflict between Israel and militant groups in Gaza, leading to casualties and widespread concern from the international community.
Details of the ceasefire agreement have not been fully disclosed, but it is anticipated to involve a mutual halt to aggressive actions and a potential easing of restrictions in the region.
International observers and neighboring countries have been urging both sides to de-escalate and find a peaceful resolution to prevent further loss of life and instability.
Youth and communities across the Global South are watching the developments closely, hoping for a swift end to the violence and a return to dialogue.
The full cabinet’s approval will be crucial in solidifying the ceasefire, potentially paving the way for humanitarian aid to reach affected areas and for rebuilding efforts to commence.
As the situation evolves, updates will be provided on the agreement’s implementation and its impact on the ground.
