President Biden has stated that Israel is prepared to halt military operations in Gaza during Ramadan, contingent upon Hamas agreeing to release hostages. The potential ceasefire between Israel and Hamas appears to be on the horizon, with President Biden setting a target date of March 4th for the pause in hostilities. This proposed agreement would involve the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Despite the optimistic outlook from President Biden, a Hamas official has expressed reservations, citing existing disagreements on the terms of the ceasefire deal. The commander-in-chief remains hopeful that a ceasefire could be achieved by the end of the weekend, with the goal of finalizing the agreement by next Monday.
