Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, according to officials. Israel is hopeful that a deal will be reached soon. Qatar, acting as a mediator, said the negotiations are at their closest point to a resolution. The ceasefire deal includes the gradual release of 33 hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza’s population centers. Despite progress, key details are still being finalized, and the agreement must be approved by Israel’s Cabinet. The deal is expected to help end the 15-month-long conflict.
