United States President Joe Biden confirmed on Friday afternoon that, while more work is needed, Israel and the Hamas terror group have agreed on a ceasefire deal framework that would see the release of hostages.
In a Wednesday op-ed, a senior US official told the Washington Post that a framework has reportedly been agreed upon for a ceasefire-hostage release deal in Gaza.
The opinion piece reported that it would lead to the release of some hostages and that the parties involved are in the negotiating phases of implementing such a deal.
Other senior officials warned that although the framework for the deal exists, a final agreement “is not imminent” and that working on the details is complex and expected to take time. US officials say the agreement would see a resolution in three stages.
