Israeli forces are intensifying its bombardment of Gaza City after the announcement of the ceasefire agreement, reports the Palestinian Civil Defence.

Netanyahu’s full statement on ceasefire talks
We reported earlier that Netanyahu’s office said some issues in the deal remain unresolved. Below is the Israeli prime minister’s full statement:

“Due to the strong insistence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas folded on its last-minute demand to change the deployment of [Israeli] forces in the Philadelphi Corridor. However, several items in the framework have yet to be finalised; we hope that the details will be finalised tonight.”

In Gaza, joy, sorrow and eagerness to return home

Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza

Al Jazeera has spoken to several displaced people in Deir el-Balah about the looming ceasefire in Gaza. Here’s what they had to say:

Mohammed al-Nabahin, 13: “I am really happy. We want to see Gaza City. We miss it. It’s true that many people from Gaza have no homes to return to, but it’s good to be in your neighbourhood, around your people and neighbours. Even with the ceasefire, one still misses his relatives and loved ones who have been martyred.”

Haitham Doghmosh, 22: “Of course, happiness and relief have entered our hearts and the hearts of all Palestinians. This nightmare, this terror will end. We will return to our homes and see our loved ones after more than 15 months of unrelenting aggression, murder and destruction.”

Um Mohammed, 44: “I hope that this war really ends and they tell us we can return to our homes in the north. I am really sad. My brother and son were martyred. Two of my nephews have been detained. The most important thing is to have safety, so we can protect our remaining children with no air attacks or drones. The war was difficult. We’re exhausted, exhausted.”

Saleh, 27: “It has been a brutal war. All the scenes we endured throughout 467 days will never be erased from our memory. But the feelings of joy today with the end of the war made us forget some of the sorrow … We hope after the end of the war we can return to our homes in the north even if they are destroyed.”

Aisha, 70: “Perhaps God wants to bring us peace and reunite us with our children in the north, so we can see our homes and live the rest of our lives there despite the destruction and ruins … None of the Arab states have stood with us, but God from above helped us.”

US pressure ‘pushed’ Israel to accept Gaza deal

Pressure by the United States seems to have finally pushed Israel into accepting a ceasefire deal in Gaza, Rami Khouri, professor at the American University of Beirut, told Al Jazeera.

“The Israelis finally realised that they are not going to get a better deal, that they must go along with this,” Khoury said. “American pressure finally seems to have pushed them over the edge.”

Whether this is going to mean a permanent stop in fighting is yet to be seen.

“If that happens, what we have here is a significant but costly victory for Hamas,” he said.

Khoury added that President-elect Donald Trump may be the one who “finally gets Israel to define its borders and stop relying on US military aid to save them every time they get into trouble”.

“He may turn out to be the person who will force Israel into make a durable peace.”

Israel bombs military convoy of new Syrian authorities

Al Jazeera Arabic reports that at least one person was killed and several others were injured when Israel targeted a military convoy of the new Syrian authorities on the outskirts of Quneitra near the occupied Golan Heights.

The Israeli military had confirmed in a statement that it fired at vehicles carrying “weapons and ammunition” in the area.

Israel has been relentlessly bombing Syrian military and civilian infrastructure and further advancing into the country’s territory since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government last month.
