A ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip has come into effect.


The ceasefire was brokered by a coalition of US, Egypt, Jordan, UAE and the UN meeting with the Israeli and Palestinian government. The ceasefire began on Friday May 21, bringing an end  to 11 days of fighting in which more than 240 people were killed, most of them Palestinians in Gaza.


Both Israel and Hamas have claimed victory in the conflict.


US President Joe Biden reacting to the truce said the ceasefire brought “genuine opportunity” for progress.
