00:00They had lost belief this day would come. Israel's government has voted to back a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
00:08Their loved ones are set to return home.
00:12My grandfather, Oded Lifshitz, 84 years old, the only great-grandfather held hostage in the world.
00:19Israel's government wouldn't help him and Hamas wouldn't release him.
00:22But we have reached this day and we are grateful to everyone who worked on this.
00:26I really hope we will see my grandfather come home on both feet alive.
00:32The government convened after the security cabinet ratified the agreement earlier on Friday,
00:38voting it through despite a last-minute attempt to topple the deal
00:42by far-right members of the Prime Minister's coalition.
00:46Under the agreement, fighting is expected to pause on Sunday
00:50and dozens of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza
00:54will be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
00:59The first phase will include the release of 33 hostages out of the roughly 100 that remain.
01:06Their names have been released and hospitals have already began planning to receive them.
01:13For Palestinians in Gaza, this has been their deadliest war in history.
01:19At least 46,000 people have been killed and more than 110,000 injured,
01:25according to the enclave's health ministry.
01:28More than 65% of the buildings have been destroyed,
01:32roads, schools and health care services obliterated.
01:36Now, at least they will receive some relief.
01:41There is a feeling of happiness to go back to our places and back to our loved ones,
01:45even if we lost family members.
01:47It's a happiness that can't be described.
01:50As if everything will stop and life could go back to normal.
01:55On the Egyptian side of the border, aid trucks line up,
01:59in anticipation of a long-awaited ceasefire.
