Israel-Hamas ceasefire takes effect after delay

Displaced Palestinians leave parts of Khan Younis as they go back to their homes in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Jan. 19, 2025. Demonstrators hold portraits of hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip during a protest calling for their immediate release in Tel Aviv, Israel, Jan. 18, 2025.

The expected ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has begun after being delayed by almost three hours when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it would not start unless Hamas provided a list of the three hostages set for release Sunday.
