On Friday, the Israeli government officially ratified a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Under the deal, hostilities in Gaza are set to halt within 24 hours, and Israeli hostages held in Gaza will be released within 72 hours.
The swift timeline underscores a rare window of de-escalation in a conflict that has drawn global attention.
Youth-led movements, humanitarian groups, and international observers are now watching closely as the clock ticks down to the ceasefire's activation and the safe return of hostages.
