🇺🇸🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — As celebrations tonight start in the Gaza Strip, following the announcement of a Ceasefire Deal between Israel and Hamas, on a video, a crowd of children and teenagers are seen chanting:

“We are the Men of Mohammed Deif.”

➡️ Mohammed Deif is a ICC-warranted Hamas leader, whose fate is now unknown (although Hamas claims he stills alive) which led the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 Offensive and caused the ongoing War in Gaza.

🇶🇦🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Prime Minister of Qatar:

A cease-fire agreement has been reached and the release of detainees in Gaza

🇶🇦🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israel-Hamas ceasefire begins on Sunday, January 19, 2025 AD, when first hostages are due to be released, Prime-Minister of Qatar says

➡️ According to the Prime-Minister, the ceasefire is temporary.

➡️ It will transition into a permanent truce if and when all the required steps and requirements are achieved.

➡️ The first phase will be a 43 days ceasefire.

➡️ During the agreement, 33 Israeli hostages will be released, Qatar, Egypt and the US will work to ensure the implementation of the agreement.

🇮🇱🕊🇵🇸 — Some details and clarifications:

➡️ It is a hostage deal, NOT an end of war deal.

➡️ Phase I allows for the release of 33 hostages; it is not clear how many are alive, but some reports suggest 23.

➡️ Again, the ceasefire is almost certainly temporary, it will last for 43 days. It is not a permanent end to the war.

➡️ As noted by analysts, Phase II is highly unlikely ever to materialize given how many hostages Hamas retains and given that Hamas will never disarm or agree to exile.

➡️ The deal does not force Israel to alter deployment along the Philadelphi Corridor (border between Gaza and Egypt).

🇮🇱❌🇺🇸🇵🇸 — 🇮🇱 Minister of Finances of Israel, Bezalel Smotrich on Twitter/X condemns the deal and says that Israel must return to the War against Hamas after the First Phase of the ceasefire is completed.

The deal that will be presented to the government is a bad and dangerous deal for the national security of the State of Israel.

Alongside the great joy and excitement of the return of every kidnapped man and woman, the deal takes back many achievements of the war in which the heroes of this nation risked their lives and will cost us, God forbid, much blood.

We oppose it with all our might.

We will not be silent.
The voice of our brothers' blood cries out to us.

*A clear condition for our remaining in the government is absolute certainty of returning to war with great force, on a full scale and in a new configuration until complete victory over all its components, foremost among them the destruction of the Hamas terrorist organization and the return of all the hostages to their homes.*

In the last two days, the Prime Minister and I have been holding feverish conversations on the matter.
He knows the detailed demands of Religious Zionist Party and the ball is in his hands.
