Gaza - January 16, 2025 Storyline: Many Gaza residents, currently housed in a temporary shelter in Khan Younis, are preparing to return to their homes in the northern part of Gaza after a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday, while they remain worried whether their hope would be dashed if the agreement fails to be fully implemented. Despite the statements from Hamas and the mediation parties claiming a ceasefire has been reached, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that Israeli Defense Forces' continued military actions in Gaza still resulted in dozens of deaths. According to Palestine's WAFA news agency, Israeli forces' actions led to approximately 50 deaths in Gaza in a dozen of hours following announcement of the ceasefire. As residents begin to feel hope for their future, they remain deeply concerned about their fate. According to The Times of Israel, citing an Israeli diplomatic source, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that all details of the ceasefire agreement be finalized before presenting it to the cabinet and government for approval. The report also reveals that Israel forced Hamas to drop demands related to the Philadelphi security corridor at the "last minute" in order to secure the ceasefire. Earlier that day, Israel's Shas Party leader Aryeh Deri stated that the obstacles to reaching a ceasefire had been cleared and a meeting of the Security Cabinet would soon take place. Israeli media also reported that the Security Cabinet is set to vote on the ceasefire agreement on Friday, with the deal becoming official only if approved in the vote. Israel's hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir held a press conference on Thursday evening, threatening that if the cabinet approves the ceasefire agreement, his far-right party will withdraw from the government. He criticized the agreement, claiming it would lead to the release of Palestinians held by Israel and pose renewed threats to Israeli residents along the Gaza border. He also called on fellow far-right leader, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, to join him in leaving the government. He further declared that if Israel resumes fighting Hamas after the ceasefire, his party would seek to rejoin the government. Shotlist: Khan Younis, Gaza Strip - Jan 16, 2025: 1.
