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.

The faction that was blocking the bill has the green light to get stuck into the West Bank now trumps in and Gaza is quickly becoming an ever smaller death camp which is bad optics with little upside.

They had just as much of green light under Biden: nobody was stopping them from doing whatever they like in West Bank.

I guess they should’ve hired you and could’ve saved 100m

Facts are facts

They’re not facts just a naive one dimensional take.

Ok. They're also facts though.

And so are the things I said. Turns out you need to consider lots of facts to realise the whole fact.
