Israel and Hamas are “super close” to reaching a ceasefire and hostage release deal, an Arab official from one of the mediating countries tells The Times of Israel.

Yesterday, two Arab officials told The Times of Israel that a deal would be announced by Wednesday or Thursday and would begin to be implemented 48 to 72 hours later.

The deal will be announced in the form of a joint statement from the mediator — the US, Qatar and Egypt, the officials said.
