Israel, in its meeting in Paris yesterday with senior officials from the US, Qatar and Egypt, agreed to a framework for a hostage release deal, Sky News reports.
The deal is being presented today to Hamas, according to the report.
The agreement would see all the hostages released, starting with women and children. There would be “phased pauses” in Israel’s war against Hamas, the report says.
Israel would also allow more aid into Gaza and would release more Palestinian prisoners.
