Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages, officials say

Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages, according to two officials involved in the talks.
The proposed agreement requires final approval from the Israeli cabinet after progress was confirmed by both an Egyptian and a Hamas official.
The three-phase agreement includes the release of 33 hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, with humanitarian aid surging into Gaza.
Renewed pressure on Israel and Hamas to finalize the ceasefire agreement comes ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
