In 15 months of conflict, which started when the violent Palestinian organization Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, it would be the most significant development.
What might be included in Israel and Hamas’ ceasefire agreement?
The arrangement, which was apparently accepted by both parties, has not yet been made public.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, stated that he hoped the agreement would be finalized on Wednesday night, although there were still a number of unanswered items.
It is hoped that the agreement will result in a halt to the war in Gaza.
An exchange of hostages and inmates is also anticipated.
