Israel security cabinet approves Gaza ceasefire agreement

Source: The Guardian

Fri 17 Jan 2025 08.10 EST

Israel’s security cabinet has ratified a ceasefire deal to exchange dozens of hostages held by Hamas for Palestinians in Israeli jails and pause the 15-month war for an initial six weeks.

The approval came after an unexpected delay which sparked fears that last-minute disagreements between Israel and Hamas could scuttle the agreement. Far-right members of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government also threatened to derail months of work to end the conflict.

The deal will now go to the full cabinet for the final signoff so that the agreement can be implemented on Sunday with the release of the first hostages and prisoners.

The Israeli high court is still scheduled to hear petitions against elements of the agreement, but it is widely expected not to intervene.

This is essentially the same agreement that Biden and Blinken had brokered between Hamas and Israel in May 2024. Bibi shit canned that deal then because Biden and Trump were neck and neck in the polls. So when people talk about how the the continued airstrikes and deaths of tens of thousands of women and children were somehow justified because Israel was fighting Hamas, well that is complete bullshit. Bibi shit canned the cease fire agreement in May because he wanted his best bud Diaper Don back in the White-house. So Gaza lies in ruins, thousands of Palestinians women and children are dead, hundreds of IDF soldiers and probably at least thirty or so Israeli hostages are dead because Bibi and his right-wing goons extended a "war" to influence an election here in the United States. Mission Accomplished.
