Deal to free hostages, pause fighting between Israel and Hamas nears announcement

The U.S.-brokered agreement could take effect as soon as Tuesday and would include the release of around 50 hostages by Hamas.

The U.S. has brokered a deal between Israel and Hamas to free dozens of hostages held in Gaza in exchange for a four or five day pause in fighting, according to two current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official with knowledge of the talks.

All officials stressed that a deal isn’t final until it’s officially announced and that arrangements can always fall apart at the last moment. They said an announcement could come from the relevant parties as soon as Tuesday.
