Mediators are making progress on a deal for a weekslong cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, with plans to release hostages and prisoners. Israel is considering expanding its offensive to Rafah while negotiations include the release of up to 40 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The proposed agreement involves a six-week pause in fighting with increased aid to Gaza. Pressure mounts on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to reach a deal with Hamas amidst ongoing protests in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
