EU pledges €120 million in aid for Gaza as Israel truce appears near
Brussels has had a limited role in brokering a fragile Middle East peace deal – but hopes are high it can help improve Gaza’s grim humanitarian situation.
Israel and Hamas have agreed to the terms of a ceasefire deal. The historic agreement that was confirmed on Wednesday is expected to pause fighting in the Gaza Strip and allow the phased release of Israeli hostages held in the region. Now, some Hollywood figures are taking to social media to react to the long-awaited ceasefire deal.

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical.

Netanyahu's statement clears the way for Israeli approval of the deal, which would pause the fighting in Gaza and see dozens of hostages held by militants in the Strip released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
