US-led negotiations are showing signs of progress towards a deal that could temporarily pause the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The potential agreement, which may be finalized within the next two weeks, involves the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza in exchange for a ceasefire lasting approximately two months, with reports suggesting a four-month ceasefire. High-level officials, including the heads of the CIA, Mossad, Shin Bet, and Egyptian intelligence, as well as Qatar's Prime Minister, convened in Paris to discuss the terms of the deal. The New York Times reported that over 100 hostages could be released, including dozens captured in the 7 October attack, and an initial phase might involve the release of 35-40 Israeli hostages. While the summit concluded without a definitive agreement, Israeli officials described the talks as 'constructive,' with plans to continue the dialogue this week. Negotiators from Egypt, Israel, Qatar, and the United States are involved, and Qatar is expected to relay the framework of the deal to Hamas for consideration, which includes a three-phase plan.
