Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire as part of a U.S.-brokered plan, exchanging remaining hostages for Palestinian prisoners to pause the two-year war in Gaza.

Under the deal negotiated in Egypt, Hamas will release all 20 living hostages, while the Israeli military will begin withdrawing troops from most of Gaza. This is the first phase of a broader peace initiative.

[5.7] Australian study finds women have more depression-linked genes — afpbb.com (Japanese) (+16)

An Australian study has found that women possess nearly twice as many genetic markers linked to depression as men, indicating a higher inherited risk for the condition.

The research analyzed DNA from about 200,000 patients. It identified approximately 13,000 depression-associated markers in women versus 7,000 in men, helping to explain a known gender disparity in depression rates.

These findings could pave the way for more personalized treatments for women. Researchers noted the genetic differences might affect metabolic pathways and that past medical research has historically focused on men.
