| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas have reached a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. This was reported on January 16 by the Al Arabiya TV channel. "All parties have signed the agreement. It is designed for six weeks and will come into force on Sunday, January 19," the journalists said. It is noted that the document was concluded after the final amendments were made. The deal was on the verge of collapse, and the intervention of mediators helped to achieve the signing of the agreement. After the disagreements were resolved, the Israeli delegation left the capital of Qatar, Doha. The agreement will be implemented in three stages. First, the IDF will gradually begin to withdraw its troops from the enclave. In turn, Hamas will release 33 hostages. The second stage should see the release of the remaining Israeli prisoners and a permanent ceasefire. Israel will completely withdraw its troops and release more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners. The third stage involves an exchange of bodies. Then, reconstruction work will begin in the Gaza Strip under the supervision of Egypt, Qatar and the UN. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on January 15, during negotiations between Israel and Hamas with the participation of mediators from Qatar, Egypt and the United States, an agreement was reached on a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip. It is assumed that the truce will be in effect from January 19 for 42 days. Russia will welcome any settlement that leads to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on January 16. The Kremlin representative called for not rushing to congratulate the parties and to wait until the process is finalized. Peskov also clarified that Russia did not take part in the negotiation process. Russia expects that the agreement between Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will create conditions for sustainable stabilization, noted the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. The diplomat also expressed hope that this agreement will lead to an "improvement" of the overall situation in the Middle East, including not only Palestine, but also Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. |

| #8 It is claimed that Gaza was a troublesome city-state during Roman empire times, which would make them part-time Egyptians whenever the kingdom expanded north to the Mediterranean coast. |

| #7 ^ You can tell by the way they walk. The difference is that the Egyptians, like most humans, have self-interest while the Paleos will go out of their way to make things worse for themselves. |
