A highly anticipated ceasefire in Gaza has officially taken effect, following a delay that stemmed from Israel's wait for Hamas to disclose the names of the three hostages slated for release on Sunday. This development marks a crucial step towards de-escalation in the region, with the international community watching closely. As the terms of the agreement are implemented, hopes for a lasting peace and the safe return of hostages are paramount. Key issues such as conflict resolution and humanitarian aid are expected to be addressed in the coming days, underscoring the importance of diplomatic efforts in the Middle East peace process.
