Potential Ceasefire in Gaza
Reports indicate that Israel and Hamas are close to finalizing a ceasefire agreement, with marathon negotiations taking place in Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed support for the deal, while Hamas awaits further details, particularly maps showing Israel's troop withdrawal from Gaza. The initial phase of the agreement may involve Hamas releasing 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for around 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, with expected Israeli troop withdrawals from populated areas. The agreement aims to restore movement within Gaza and could establish conditions for further negotiations regarding a permanent ceasefire.
