Israel’s government said yes to a ceasefire and hostage release plan on Saturday. This happened after a few days where it wasn’t clear if a truce would actually happen. The main goal of this plan is to stop the fighting and bombing in Gaza where things have been really bad recently.
The ceasefire should start on Sunday. It’s not just about stopping the violence though they also plan to release hostages as part of this agreement. This deal took a lot of talking between different people but we don’t know all the details about how it will work or when the hostages will be freed.
This approval from Israel is a big move to try and calm things down in Gaza. Still it’s important to remember that how well this works and if it really makes things better will depend on everyone sticking to the plan and working towards peace.
