Negotiators reached a phased deal on Wednesday to end the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
DOHA/DUBAI/JERUSALEM - Negotiators reached a phased deal on Wednesday to end the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, an official briefed on the negotiations said, after 15 months of conflict that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and inflamed the Middle East.
The agreement follows months of on-off negotiations conducted by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, with the backing of the United States. It comes just ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's Jan 20 inauguration. If successful, the planned phased ceasefire could halt fighting that has left much of Gaza in ruins, displaced most of the enclave's pre-war population of 2.3 million, and killed tens of thousands of people. The toll is still rising daily.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he was cutting a visit to Europe short and flying home overnight to take part in security cabinet and government votes on the deal - meaning the votes would likely be by or on Thursday. As his inauguration approached, Trump repeated his demand that a deal be done swiftly, warning repeatedly that there would be "hell to pay" if the hostages were not released by the time he took office. His Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff worked with President Joe Biden's team to push the deal over the line.
