00:00A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect in Gaza on Friday, hours

00:05after Israel's cabinet ratified the deal to pause fighting and exchange the remaining

00:10hostages.

00:16convening with his cabinet, as well as U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

00:20We fought during these two years to achieve our war aims, and the central one of these

00:26war aims is to return the hostages, all of the hostages, the living and the dead.

00:32And we're about to achieve that goal.

00:35We couldn't have achieved it without the extraordinary help of President Trump and his team, Steve Witkoff

00:42and Jared Kushner.

00:44Here we are today because Hamas had to, they had to do this deal.

00:50The pressure was on them, they were backed up, and you've got the bigger army, you were making

00:56inroads, and that's what led to this deal.

00:59Tens of thousands of people gathered in Vaadi Gaza in central Gaza started walking north

01:04after the military's announcement.

01:06Palestinians reported that heavy shelling ceased after the ceasefire was announced.

01:10As part of the ceasefire, Israeli troops began to withdraw to agreed upon deployment lines,

01:38the military said.

01:42The announcement was met with widespread joy for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who, after

01:48two years of intense bombardment, are now seeing relief on the horizon.
