Talks for a ceasefire in Gaza are 90% complete, a Palestinian official told the BBC. Key issues remain, like Israel’s military role in southern Gaza. A proposed deal would include releasing hostages and Palestinian prisoners in stages. Aid trucks would bring supplies to Gaza, and civilians could return north under international oversight. A new committee would manage Gaza, with no ties to political groups. US, Qatar, and Egypt are helping mediate the deal. Hamas and other groups say progress depends on Israel stopping new demands. The talks aim to end the 14-month war.
