Israel's security cabinet has approved a long-awaited ceasefire deal with Hamas. If finalized, the ceasefire is expected to go into effect on Sunday. "The main challenge will be the second phase, and here there are many, many problems on the horizon," says Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, who stresses the importance of also freeing the thousands of Palestinians held by Israel. "Again and again, Israelis always think that they are the only victims." The announcement comes in the final week of U.S. President Joe Biden's term as Israel prepares for the incoming Trump administration. "The only reason that Israel did not agree to this text until this week is because it didn't have to worry about U.S. pressure," says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani, who explains why the limited agreement will not shift politics in Israel and Palestine. "I believe Netanyahu will do everything possible, with the collusion of certain Trump officials, to try to scuttle it after the first phase."
