If the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal goes according to the current draft, then fighting will stop in Gaza for 42 days, and dozens of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be freed.

Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages, officials involved in the talks said Tuesday. An Israeli official said progress has been made, but the details are being finalized.

Israel and Hamas have been holding indirect talks for more than a year aimed at ending the war in Gaza and returning the hostages to Israel.
