Hamas and Israel Nearing Truce Agreement, Hostage Release Expected

Israel
Hamas and Israel are close to reaching a truce agreement.
In return, Israel is expected to release female and minor-aged Palestinian detainees from its custody.
The conflict has resulted in the deaths of at least 13,300 Palestinians, including at least 5,600 children, and has left two-thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million people homeless.
The deal includes a pause in fighting and the release of around 50 civilian hostages held by Hamas.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has announced that a truce agreement with Israel is nearing completion. The deal, which is being mediated by Qatar, includes a pause in fighting and the release of around 50 civilian hostages held by Hamas. In return, Israel is expected to release female and minor-aged Palestinian detainees from its custody.

The conflict, which began with a Hamas raid into Israel on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of at least 13,300 Palestinians, including at least 5,600 children, and has left two-thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million people homeless. The potential truce has raised hopes for an end to the violence and the release of hostages.

The tentative agreement includes a five-day truce, a complete ceasefire on the ground, and an end to Israeli air operations over Gaza. In exchange, some 300 Palestinians would be freed from Israeli jails. The deal would also allow for up to 300 trucks of food and medical aid to enter Gaza.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not confirmed the deal and has vowed to continue the offensive until the hostages are released. Observers have cautioned that public statements during such negotiations can be misleading and any potential deal could easily collapse. US President Joe Biden has also expressed belief that a deal to free the hostages is close.

Meanwhile, the health ministry has announced that all hospitals in northern Gaza are now out of service, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
