Update….
With the ceasefire in place, Israeli troops began to reposition, withdrawing to an agreed line well within the borders of the Gaza Strip — a move that started the clock on a high-stakes, 72-hour timeline for Hamas to release hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by Israel and a surge of aid, under the terms of the agreement’s initial phase.
“The government has now approved the outline for the release of all abductees — living and dead,” the Israeli prime minister’s office said in a statement.
The deal comes after weeks of diplomacy that gained momentum earlier this week in Egypt after months of deadlock. Egypt, Qatar and Turkey mediated negotiations in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner joined the talks just hours before the breakthrough was announced….

The prime minister won his government’s approval early Friday for a ceasefire and hostage deal based on Trump’s peace plan. The agreement came into effect at midday, according to the Israeli military, which said it was pulling back “along the updated deployment lines in preparation for the ceasefire agreement and the return of hostages.” Gaza’s Hamas-run Interior Ministry said its security forces would deploy to areas Israeli troops were withdrawing from….

Former British prime minister Tony Blair would not be welcome in any post-war role for Gaza, a senior Hamas official said, while praising Donald Trump in securing a peace deal. Speaking to Sky News, Dr Basem Naim said a ceasefire would not have been possible without Trump but said the US president must continue to apply pressure to Israel to ensure the agreement is not violated. On Blair, he criticised plans for the former UK PM to play a role in the future of Gaza, owing to his role in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Israel released a list of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to release as part of the ceasefire and hostage release agreement made with Hamas. Of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, 100 to the West Bank, and 135 will be deported. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a list of proposed prisoners to be released to mediators in Egypt, they called for the release of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But Netanyahu’s office confirmed it refuses to release Barghouti.

Unicef called for all aid routes into Gaza to open and warned that child deaths may spike if not. “The situation is critical. We risk seeing a massive spike in child death, not only neonatal, but also infants, given their immune systems are more compromised than ever before,” said spokesperson Ricardo Pires. Nutrition support is the main priority, according to Unicef, with 50,000 children at risk of acute malnutrition and in need of immediate treatment.

Unicef also said it has evacuated two of 18 newborn babies from a north Gaza hospital to be reunited with their parents in the south of the region. “I hope this is just an example of what will come after the ceasefire is fully implemented,” Pires said.

Thousands of Palestinian people in Gaza began heading north in the territory after the Israeli military announced that a ceasefire came into effect on Friday. In a statement released on Telegram, the IDF said troops “began positioning themselves along the updated deployment lines” from midday local time. It marked the first stop in fighting since March. Nearly half a million Palestinians living in north Gaza were displaced by Israel’s military advance into Gaza City, and many were eager to return to their homes. But with more than 90% of homes in Gaza and almost all its infrastructure destroyed or damaged, many who have done so have found their homes and neighbourhoods in ruins….

Israeli Qatar attack pushed Trump against Netanyahu….
The brazen Israeli attack failed to kill its targets. But it motivated an angry Mr. Trump and his advisers to pressure Mr. Netanyahu into supporting a framework for ending the war, after months in which the president appeared to have given the Israeli leader a free pass to continue assaulting Hamas even as the death toll and suffering among Palestinian civilians rose to levels that left Israel increasingly isolated….
Note….
Trump does NOT get a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts…..
The ‘Deal’ is NOT completely done yet…..
