JERUSALEM (AP) — A potential Gaza cease-fire deal is on the horizon as Mideast negotiators are finalizing logistics for the release of hostages and distribution of aid to end the Israel-Hamas war. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the proposal currently under discussion addresses key concerns from both sides, with preparations underway in Cairo for the implementation of the agreement.
Efforts to reach a deal were buoyed by recent talks in Qatar, with plans to reconvene in Cairo next week to solidify the agreement. While Israel expressed appreciation for the mediators' efforts, Hamas appeared less enthusiastic about the proposed terms.
