US President-elect Donald Trump praised an 'epic' ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, claiming credit for the accord just days before his second term begins. The agreement includes the phased release of hostages, Palestinian prisoners, and humanitarian aid to war-torn Gaza, with an initial six-week ceasefire. However, Netanyahu's office stated that several clauses in the framework remain unresolved and hopes for finalization tonight. The deal, reached after weeks of negotiations, promises the release of hostages, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the return of displaced Gazans to their homes. The agreement is expected to bring a temporary halt to the fighting and open negotiations for a permanent end to the war.
