"Israel and Hamas Consider Extended Cease-Fire Deal for Hostage Release"

Israel and Hamas are considering a proposed six-week pause in fighting that would result in the release of all civilian hostages in Gaza, with a three-stage plan put together by US, Egyptian, and Qatari negotiators. The deal includes the release of hostages, prioritizing children, women, the elderly, and those needing medical attention, as well as the bodies of those who died in captivity. However, a permanent end to the war remains uncertain, as both sides have differing conditions for a potential deal.
