A written draft agreement calls for the phased release of captives held by Hamas in exchange for a cessation in Israel’s military offensive for about two months.

American-led negotiators are edging closer to an agreement in which Israel would suspend its war in Gaza for about two months in exchange for the release of more than 100 hostages still held by Hamas, a deal that could be sealed in the next two weeks and would transform the conflict consuming the region.

Negotiators have developed a written draft agreement merging proposals offered by Israel and Hamas in the last 10 days into a basic framework that will be the subject of talks in Paris on Sunday. While there are still important disagreements to be worked out, negotiators are cautiously optimistic that a final accord is within reach, according to U.S. officials who insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive talks.

    Mysteriously close to the International Court ruling the hostages should return and genocide must stop be avoided

      Was there a new ruling? I only heard about that Israel has to make sure to prevent a genocide.

        Nope, the user just chose to misrepresent the actual ruling, whether dishonestly or because they are simply misinformed. The court did not determine whether or not there was a genocide, which means it can’t have possibly ruled for it to stop, because that would have required the former.

      Maybe your English is not good, but they told them to avoid genocide, not to stop it. So they did not tell them to stop because they did not accuse them of doing it.
