Mediators have presented Israel and Hamas with a final draft of an agreement aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza, following what has been described as a significant “breakthrough” in negotiations. These talks took place in Qatar and involved representatives from both US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump.
The draft agreement comes after months of discussions where both sides have broadly agreed on the principle of ceasing hostilities in exchange for the release of hostages by Hamas and Palestinian detainees held in Israel. The next crucial 24 hours will determine if an agreement can be reached, with Israeli and Hamas delegations having received the draft.
The urgency of the situation is underscored by statements from the incoming US envoy pushing for a finalized deal, while the current administration also emphasizes the need for a resolution before the change in presidency. Despite the optimism, previous negotiations have often stalled, highlighting the complexities and political dimensions of finalizing such agreements.
