  • Gaza ceasefire 'closer than ever' as US says truce between Israel and Hamas could 'come anytime' - First phase of agreement likely to involve release of 33 Israeli hostages and up to 1,000 Palestinian

The article from MSN discusses the potential for a ceasefire in Gaza, indicating that a truce between Israel and Hamas could be imminent.

This follows weeks of intense mediation efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. to halt the ongoing conflict which has led to significant casualties and displacement. Key points include the release of hostages by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, alongside discussions on increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, despite the progress, challenges remain, including disagreements over the terms of the ceasefire and the broader political implications for both sides.
