News24 | Israeli cabinet approves Gaza ceasefire accord, due to take effect Sunday
Saturday, 18 January 2025 () Israel's cabinet approved a deal with Palestinian militant group Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Saturday, a day ahead of the agreement's scheduled start.
The ceasefire goes into effect on Sunday, though some questions remain, including the names of the 33 hostages to be released during the six-week first phase.
Donald Trump’s claimed role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire has intensified Arab American frustration with President Biden. Many feel Biden failed to secure peace despite months of opportunity, while Trump’s intervention seemingly pushed Israel to agree. The ceasefire, set to begin Sunday, follows pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by Trump’s envoy. Arab American voters, particularly in Michigan, express anger over Biden’s handling of the war, branding him “Genocide Joe” and questioning Democratic support for Palestinian rights. Skepticism remains over the ceasefire’s durability.

A mysterious airstrip nearing completion on Yemen’s remote Abd al-Kuri Island raises regional security concerns. Satellite images suggest the UAE is behind the project, potentially to counter Houthi rebel attacks that threaten global shipping routes. As tensions escalate, the runway could be pivotal for surveillance and military operations in the Gulf of Aden. With the Houthis’ continued assaults on Israel and U.S. forces, and suspected weapons smuggling from Iran, this new development could further destabilize the already volatile region.

Hamas has issued a stark warning to Israel, claiming that any military strikes endangering hostages could lead to "tragic consequences." The warning comes amid escalating tensions following the signing of a ceasefire agreement in Doha, aimed at ending months of conflict.
The truce, set to begin on January 20, is already under threat as accusations fly between the two sides. Israeli airstrikes have continued in Gaza, killing at least 72 people since the agreement’s announcement, while Israel alleges Hamas is not fully adhering to the deal.

Tensions between the U.S. and Yemen have reached a boiling point as American bombers launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen’s northwestern Amran province, specifically targeting the Harf Sufyan district. This escalation follows a recent strike by Houthi forces on a U.S. warship in the Red Sea, marking the sixth such attack within a month. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi had warned that military operations in support of Gaza would continue until Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territories ceases.
