International mediators are urgently working towards brokering a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, following intense negotiations in Qatar. A joint statement from the US, Qatar, and Egypt revealed that a 'bridging proposal' was presented on Friday to address the remaining disagreements between the warring parties.
US President Joe Biden expressed optimism about the progress of the talks, stating that they are closer to a deal than ever before. The negotiations, which are set to resume in Cairo next week, have significantly increased the likelihood of reaching a resolution.
