Israel and Hamas appear to be on the verge of an agreement to release some of the hostages held in Gaza. According to a statement cited by several news agencies, the leader of the Islamist militant group Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, has said that negotiators are "close to reaching a deal."It's thought the agreement would see a swap of Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails for a significant number of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7. A temporary truce of several days is also said to be part of the deal, as is the movement of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
