DOHA/CAIRO/JERUSALEM, Jan 16 (Reuters) – Israel airstrikes killed at least 77 people in Gaza overnight on Thursday, residents and authorities in the enclave said, hours after a ceasefire and hostage release deal was announced to bring an end to 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas.
The complex ceasefire accord emerged on Wednesday after mediation by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. to stop the war that has devastated the coastal territory and inflamed the Middle East.
The deal, scheduled to be implemented from Sunday, outlines a six-week initial ceasefire with the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, where tens of thousands have been killed. Hostages taken by militant group Hamas, which controls the enclave, would be freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel.
The deal also paves the way for a surge in humanitarian aid for Gaza, where the majority of the population has been displaced and is facing acute food shortages, food security experts warned late last year.
Rows of aid trucks were lined up in the Egyptian border town of El-Arish waiting to cross into Gaza, once the border is reopened.
Israel’s acceptance of the deal will not be official until it is approved by the country’s security cabinet and government, and a vote was slated for Thursday, an Israeli official said.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed the meeting, accusing Hamas of making last-minute demands and going back on agreements.
“The Israeli cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said.
Hamas senior official Izzat el-Reshiq said on Thursday the group is committed to the ceasefire agreement announced by mediators on Wednesday.
Hardliners in Netanyahu’s government were still hoping to stop the deal, though a majority of ministers were expected to back it.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism Party said in a statement that its condition for remaining in the government would be a return to fighting at the end of the first phase of the deal, in order to destroy Hamas and bring all the hostages back. Far-right police minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has also threatened to quit the government if the ceasefire is approved.
In Jerusalem, some Israelis marched through the streets carrying mock coffins in protest at the ceasefire, blocking roads and scuffling with police.
Despite the hold-up to the cabinet meeting, political commentators on Israel’s public broadcaster Kan said the latest delay would likely be resolved and that the ceasefire was a done deal.
The White House also downplayed reports of a snag in the ceasefire deal on Thursday. Jonathan Finer, the deputy national security adviser, said in an interview with CNN: “We fully expect the deal to be implemented as described by the president and by the mediators – Egypt and Qatar – yesterday and on the timeline that was described. What we’re doing now is working through details of implementation.”
CALLS FOR FASTER IMPLEMENTATION
For some Palestinians, the deal could not come soon enough.
“We lose homes every hour. We demand for this joy not to go away, the joy that was drawn on our faces – don’t waste it by delaying the implementation of the truce until Sunday,” Gazan man Mahmoud Abu Wardeh said.
The accord requires 600 truckloads of humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza every day of the ceasefire, with 50 carrying fuel. The first phase of the agreement will also see Israel releasing more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including many long-serving inmates.
Israelis may find it hard to see Palestinian militants who were serving life sentences for their involvement in deadly attacks in their country, set free.
But successive surveys have shown broad support among the public for a deal that would see the hostages released, even at what is seen as a heavy price.
“This has to be the only choice that we take in order to continue surviving as a state and as a nation, knowing that we will do anything to save each other,” said Jerusalem resident Chava Treitel.
While people celebrated the pact in Gaza and Israel, Israel’s military conducted more attacks, the civil emergency service and residents said.
Gaza’s health ministry said at least 81 people had been killed over the past 24 hours and about 188 injured. The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said at least 77 of those were killed since the ceasefire announcement.
The Israeli military is looking into the reports, a military spokesperson said.
Israel secured major gains over Iran and its proxies, mainly Hezbollah, as the Gaza conflict spread. In Gaza, however, Hamas may have been crippled, but without an alternative administration in place, it has been left standing.
If successful, the ceasefire will halt fighting that has razed much of heavily urbanised Gaza, killed over 46,000 people, and displaced most of the tiny enclave’s pre-war population of 2.3 million, according to Gaza authorities.
That in turn could defuse tensions across the wider Middle East.
With 98 foreign and Israeli hostages remaining in Gaza, phase one of the deal entails the release of 33 of them, including all women, children and men over 50.
Global reaction to the ceasefire was enthusiastic.
Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas-led gunmen burst into Israeli border-area communities on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 soldiers and civilians and abducting over 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Negotiations on implementing the second phase of the deal will begin by the 16th day of phase one, and this stage was expected to include the release of all remaining hostages, a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
The third stage is to address the return of all remaining dead bodies and the start of Gaza’s reconstruction supervised by Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations.

A basic 5 minute research will tell You trump has already green lighted for “isreal” to strike Palestine at any time they want following the “cease fire” without said “cease fire” being affected… unless of course You are Palestinian and on the receiving end
The recent exposure proving that the “hamas” “go-pro” footage was entirely created using “ai” video production techniques, preciesly because the chap that identified it by its “glitches” is the self same man who had his patent stolen, a patent incidentaly of software, video, “ai” editing that “solves” the problems/glitches that make it provable that it was “ai” created..

If Arab and Muslim countries were serious about rebuilding Gaza they would never have let Zionist Israel destroy it in the first place…
We know Zionist Jews are morally bankrupt.
What does that say about those who provide supply?
Ceasefire…
What ceasefire?
Ceasefire?

Israel shows its bloodlust right to the bitter end – The Irish News view
Opinion by The Irish News •
The world will be holding its breath until the ceasefire negotiated between Israel and Hamas, which is intended to end the catastrophic conflict in Gaza, is implemented as scheduled on Sunday.
Israel bombing early today killed 80 people
There can only be enormous relief that the complex talks are finally producing a breakthrough, but there are still alarming indications that it could all be derailed at the eleventh hour It is appalling that Israel continued to bomb during the cease fire killing several israeli hostages, in entirely unwarranted operations which were a breach of the spirit if not the letter of the planned ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of making last-minute demands and going back on agreements, a claim which was firmly rejected by Hamas but illustrated the massive tensions which exist on all sides israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of making last-minute demands
The deal involves stopping all aspects of the 15-month war on the people of Gaza, completing an exchange of hostages and prisoners, withdrawing Israeli troops and returning displaced Palestinians to rebuild their homes
All these provision are essential, but it is deeply alarming that elements in the Israeli cabinet who are even more hardline than Netanyahu want to see the blueprint abandoned and the violence escalated ina land grab of Jordan Egypt and Turkey
The latest crisis in the Middle East did not start on the dark day of October 7, 2023 when were enticed in, killing an estimated 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages back to Gaza, but totally dreadful bombings then unfolded swiftly on the population of palestine syria and lebanon

2,800-year-old structure unearthed in palestine was likely used for cultic practices and sacrifice, archaeologists say Archaeologists in palestine have unearthed a series of stone rooms and objects that were likely used for worship and ritual practices over 2,800 years ago, they say.
The discovery is the only known ritual structure from this period in Jerusalem and one of just a handful unearthed recently after israels carpet bombings, so far in palestine according to a statement. among the ruins of eight rock-cut chambers, archaeologists found an oil press, a winepress, an altar and a large standing stone, or sacred pillar.
Urgent international recognition must happen as israel has been bombing the ancient Christian sites
