US says Israel and Hamas “on brink” of Gaza ceasefire deal | BBC News
President Joe Biden has said a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages is “on the brink” of coming to fruition and his administration is working urgently to achieve it.
Palestinian officials have confirmed that the terms of a deal are being finalised, while the Israelis said talks are at an advanced stage with a deal possible in hours or days.
It’s understood that Israel has agreed to release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners including around 190 who have been serving sentences of 15 years or more. In exchange, Hamas will release 34 hostages.
Hamas would release three hostages on the first day of the agreement after which Israel would begin withdrawing troops from populated areas of Gaza. Seven days later Hamas would release four additional hostages and Israel would allow displaced people in southern Gaza to return to the north on foot via the coastal road.
The agreement includes provisions for Israeli forces to remain in what’s known as the Philadelphi Corridor and maintain an 800-meter buffer zone along Gaza’s eastern and northern borders during the first phase of the deal lasting 42 days.

Only one athlete beat a world record at the controversial Enhanced Games in Las Vegas.
Results at the inaugural Games are considered illegal by global sporting bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency, because athletes can take banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The competition featured events in athletics, weightlifting and swimming.

Oil prices have fallen sharply and Asian stock markets have risen on hopes of a deal that could bring an end to the US-Israel war with Iran.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to India that negotiators had a “pretty solid thing on the table” and an agreement to end the conflict might be reached on Monday.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said at the weekend the two sides were both “very close and very far” from reaching an agreement.
According to US media, the mooted deal is not a final settlement and instead leaves some of the thorniest issues to be negotiated later, including the scope and timing of Iranian sanctions relief, the release of frozen Iranian funds, and Washington’s demands for Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions.
