Tensions at the top of Hamas regarding the abductees deal Israel today. Yahya Sinwar was "tired" after four months of war, and is ready to accept the proposal for an initial six-week ceasefire.

On the other hand, Ismail Haniyeh wants a permanent ceasefire and an end to the fighting in Gaza. The internal disagreement in Hamas is just one of the various obstacles facing the potential deal, the broad framework and principles of which were agreed upon by the intelligence chiefs of the United States, Israel, Egypt and Qatar last weekend.
