Israel and Palestinian movement Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, potentially bringing an end to Israel's devastating war in the enclave.

The ceasefire will go into effect on Sunday.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani announced the deal on Wednesday during a press conference in Doha.

The Qataris, alongside the Egyptians, helped negotiate the agreement with Israel, while the incoming US administration of President-elect Donald Trump applied pressure on the Israelis, Haaretz reported.

because Israel always honours it's word

The Israeli government is expected to vote on the agreement on Thursday.

Sorry, a deal hasn't been reached until the bombs stop falling.

There's also the fact that they reached a "ceasefire" with Lebanon and still had soldiers and tanks shooting at people there literally the day after.

Yes. Netanyahu (who was known for backing out of deals that were already agreed to) has already announced a “last minute crisis” to block the deal.

Sounds like an euphemism to a call from Trump or Likud nuts

My preemptive condolences for whomever from Palestine agreed to this ceasefire.
