Gaza Calm Restarts, but Far-Right Israelis Quit over Prisoner Swap

In Gaza, a ceasefire has begun after Israel and Hamas agreed on a hostage trade. However, some Israeli politicians aren't happy about it. The Otzma Yehudit party, known for its far-right views, has decided to quit the government. They say the deal, which sets free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, is a bad idea. They think it's like giving up on the Israeli military's hard work. The party members will hand in their resignation letters on Sunday.

But what do their resignations mean? Well, even though they're leaving, the government won't fall just yet. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel can go back to fighting if Hamas breaks the deal. But one party member, Itamar Ben Gvir, isn't sure. He thinks Hamas isn't defeated yet, so they should keep fighting. Many people have different opinions about this deal. Some see it as a way to bring peace, while others worry about the risks. It's important to think about both sides when making big decisions.
