"Israel-Hamas War Nears Truce Agreement, Biden Optimistic on Gaza Hostage Release"
TL;DR
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has stated that the Palestinian militant group is close to reaching a truce agreement with Israel, with the group delivering its response to Qatari mediators. Talks are ongoing for a truce that would last a number of days and include arrangements for aid entry into Gaza, as well as a swap of hostages taken by Hamas for people imprisoned by Israel. The potential deal may involve a five-day truce, including a ceasefire on the ground and limits to Israeli air operations over southern Gaza, with the release of 50 to 100 prisoners held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
