There is hope for a ceasefire agreement, according to a report. Hamas denies this.

Israeli media, however, reported that both sides had shown more flexibility. Since Israel and Hamas do not speak to each other directly, the USA, Qatar and Egypt act as mediators. Israel's Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi made it clear that an end to the war is far from being in sight. Almost 100 of the hostages who were kidnapped to Gaza after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 are still alive.
