Negotiations between Hamas and Israel reportedly include the release of 34 hostages, mostly women, children, and the elderly, during an initial phase of a potential ceasefire agreement.
Israel is seeking the release of these hostages on humanitarian grounds, in exchange for Palestinian security prisoners, including some serving life sentences.
The deal’s first phase could see increased humanitarian aid entering Gaza, repairs to hospitals and public facilities, and the reopening of the Rafah Crossing, though control of the crossing remains unresolved.
Reports suggest Israel may withdraw from densely populated Gaza areas during the initial ceasefire phase, with further agreements under discussion.
