Israel and Hamas are close to agreeing on a cease-fire deal to end the long and brutal conflict in Gaza.
The potential agreement involves a significant prisoner exchange, with hostages in Gaza released in return for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
However, challenges persist concerning the start date, border control, and other important logistical and political details.
While optimism exists, internal resistance from both sides and potential last-minute issues could still threaten the deal’s success.
