Israel, Hamas agree to cease-fire to end bloody 11-day war

14 Sept 14:36 Key points summarised by AI

Israel and Hamas agreed to an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire, halting 11 days of intense conflict that caused widespread destruction in Gaza and brought life to a standstill in much of Israel.
The conflict resulted in over 200 deaths, with both sides claiming victory despite the inconclusive nature of the fighting and the daunting rebuilding challenges faced by Hamas in Gaza.
International pressure, particularly from the United States, played a significant role in pushing for the truce, which took effect at 2 a.m. local time.
The fighting erupted due to escalating tensions in Jerusalem, including clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and threatened evictions, underscoring the deep-seated issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
