Possible Ceasefire Deal Emerges in Israel-Hamas Conflict
After 124 days of intense conflict between Israel and Hamas, there appears to be progress towards a potential ceasefire agreement. Reports suggest that Hamas has responded positively to a proposal that could bring an end to the fighting for a duration of four and a half months. The plan, put forward by Hamas in response to proposals by Egypt and Qatar, includes the release of all hostages, withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners. This ceasefire plan would be implemented in three stages, each lasting 45 days.
