The Israeli cabinet has formally approved the ceasefire agreement, with the military required to withdraw to the agreed line within Gaza within 24 hours. The withdrawal order follows the approval of a framework for ending hostilities.

Hostage and prisoner releases are expected to begin in the coming days, according to officials from Egypt and Hamas. The process could start as early as Sunday night.

Five border crossings, including Rafah, would reopen under the agreement. The U.S. would lead a reconstruction effort, and an international force would assume security responsibility inside Gaza.
