US and
Hamas officials say ceasefire deal has been reached
Three US
officials and a Hamas official have confirmed to Associated Press that a
ceasefire deal has been reached.
One US
official said that it was expected that the ceasefire would be implemented in
the coming days.
As we
reported earlier, ceasefire talks hit a last-minute snag over the Philadelphi
corridor but the issue has since been resolved, CBS News is reporting.
The US
president, Joe Biden, is preparing to address the breakthrough agreement on
Thursday, officials said.
According to
AP, the deal includes the release of dozens of hostages held by Hamas in
phases, the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israel, and allow
hundreds of thousands of people displaced in Gaza to return to their homes.
The deal
also would flood badly needed humanitarian aid into the devastated Palestinian
territory.
