Palestinians living abroad have also been celebrating the news of a ceasefire deal in Gaza. In the Egyptian capital Cairo, there were scenes of joy on the streets. Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi welcomed the deal. He said it highlighted the importance of quickly providing critical aid to people in Gaza. Hussein Haridy, a former foreign minister of Egypt, says the Gaza truce agreement reflects “new directions” in US foreign policy with Donald Trump set to take over as president.
