THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

It's a busy day around the world as international media outlets focus equally on day one of the Gaza ceasefire and Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration this evening <\/strong>\u2014 two events that observers believe are not coincidental. The first day of the Gaza ceasefire saw the exchange of three Israelis held by Hamas for 90 Palestinians in Israeli prisons. This came amid joyous celebrations by Gazans and a remarkable reappearance of Qassam Brigades militants on the ground. (Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | New York Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s immediate impact was also felt on TikTok, which returned to life in the United States hours after it was shut down<\/strong>. The Chinese app had stopped operating in the US early yesterday in compliance with a US Supreme Court ruling, before Trump announced that he would issue an executive order on Monday giving TikTok a \u201cperiod of time\u201d to reach an agreement with the new administration that would address US concerns about national security. The app restored the service in the US a few hours later and thanked the incoming president by name, adding that it will work with Trump \u201con a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.\u201d TikTok CEO Shou Chew will reportedly attend Trump\u2019s inauguration, which is scheduled to begin at 6:30pm Cairo time tonight.
