The extremist organization Hamas says it is ready for a cease-fire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange with Israel.
The ceasefire ending the fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Lebanese extremist organization Hezbollah began early this morning.
Israel attacked Gaza last October after the extremist organization Hamas and its allies attacked Israel.
According to the region’s Ministry of Health, more than 44,200 people have died in Gaza during the second year of the war. In addition, Israel’s attack has caused a major humanitarian crisis in the region.
