Gaza ceasefire deal reportedly close even as Israel strikes continue

Are we about to see a ceasefire in Gaza? There have been 465 days since Hamas launched its attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages.

Since that day – October 7, 2023 – the Israeli military has killed more than 46,500 people in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. That’s a rate of 100 people a day.

So could the killing be about to stop? Details of the ceasefire deal suggest its first phase would see some hostages being released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and Israeli forces withdrawing from parts of Gaza.
