A long-awaited ceasefire between Hamas and Israel went into force on Sunday, followed by the first exchange of hostages and detainees by the two sides. The ceasefire and the process of releasing the hostages and prisoners will continue over the next three months. It has already caused discontent among far-right members of PM Binyamin Netanyahu's Israeli government, with one minister quitting. But for now, the release of the first hostages has been welcomed in Israel. FRANCE 24's Oliver Farry spoke to Oliver McTernan, the co-founder and director of Forward Thinking, a charity that works on conflict resolution and mediation in the Middle East. He gave his take on the prospects of the ceasefire holding in Gaza.
