Israeli ministers passed a ceasefire deal with Hamas in a 24-8 vote hours after the deal was approved by the country’s security cabinet, local media reported early Saturday. The deal—mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the US—was initially announced on Wednesday but hit road bumps as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that final details had yet to be worked out before the two votes.

According to the government’s decision and a leaked copy of the deal obtained by the Times of Israel, the deal will roll out in three phases. Hamas will release 33 hostages in the first phase (lasting six weeks) in exchange for 767 Palestinian prisoners and 1167 Gazan detainees who were not involved in the October 7 attacks. Israel will also begin to withdraw its forces from dense areas of the Gaza Strip. The 33 hostages include those who are women, children, elderly or ill. Hamas will also release longtime detainees Avraham Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed.

The deal will bring the first ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, which has claimed thousands of lives and led to the mass displacement of Gaza’s population, since 2023. US President Joe Biden proposed a comprehensive ceasefire plan in May amid mounting international pressure for the war to stop. The conflict has spawned numerous accusations of war crimes, with South Africa accusing Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and rights groups finding that Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which killed 815 civilians and saw 251 hostages taken, amounted to crimes against humanity.

The ceasefire is expected to go into effect Sunday.
