Israel and Hamas have agreed a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal following 15 months of war.
Qatari Prime Minister Al Thani said the agreement would come into effect on 19 January, as long as it was approved by the Israeli cabinet.
Hamas attacked southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages.
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
