"Ceasefire and Hostage Negotiations: Israel Awaits Hamas Response"
TL;DR
Israel has accepted a US compromise on the number of Palestinian prisoners to be swapped for each Israeli hostage and is awaiting a response from Hamas. The Israeli delegation in Qatar has been authorized to discuss the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza, and reports suggest that Israel has agreed to let 2,000 Gazans return to the north of the Gaza Strip. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding these claims. The talks, which involve senior Hamas officials, are ongoing, and thousands have protested in Israel calling for a hostage deal.
