USA: Israel has agreed to a ceasefire deal - Hamas' turn. According to US information, Israel is on board - only Hamas's approval is still pending.
Cautiously optimistic signals have recently come from the USA and Qatar, which together with Egypt facilitate indirect negotiations between Israel and the Islamist Hamas. The Gaza war was triggered by an unprecedented massacre carried out by terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups in southern Israel on October 7th. More than 200 people were forcibly abducted during the attack on Israel. On the Israeli side, more than 1,200 people were killed.
