Israel’s government on Friday approved a deal with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, paving the way for the first phase of a ceasefire and the return of all remaining hostages.

The Israeli cabinet ratified the agreement in the early hours of Friday morning, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump and Hamas negotiator Khalil al Hayya declared that the war in Gaza is over.

“The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages – the living and the deceased,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a social media post on X.

Under the terms of the deal, Israel’s military is expected to withdraw from Gaza within 24 hours.

The ceasefire agreement follows a brutal two-year war that has sparked global outcry, upended the Middle East and left Israel increasingly isolated on the international stage.

Gaza’s Civil Defense on Friday warned citizens not to return to border areas of Gaza City until an official announcement has been made regarding the withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces.

“Violating this warning puts your life at risk,” the official spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense said via Telegram.

“We urge everyone to comply for your safety and to facilitate the work of emergency teams and field authorities,” they added.
