According to them, representatives of Israel, the U.S., Egypt and Qatar agreed on the basis of a new deal for the phased release of hostages from the Gaza Strip. It involves suspension of hostilities and exchange of prisoners. Specific details are not specified.
Earlier, The New York Times revealed that the deal could be finalized in the next two weeks. The agreement should be more extensive than the previous one.
According to the publication, in the first stage, hostilities will cease for about 30 days. During that time, Hamas will release women, the elderly and wounded hostages. During this period, the two sides will work out the details of the second phase, which would suspend hostilities for about 30 more days in exchange for Israeli soldiers and male civilians.
