- Israel has agreed a deal that will see 50 women and children kidnapped by Hamas gunmen on October 7 freed during a four-day truce, leaving their families with an agonising wait to see if their loved ones are coming home.
- Israel‘s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned his war cabinet last night where he demanded they support the temporary pause in fighting – that could begin within 24 hours – after the US and Qatar spent weeks thrashing out the deal.
- Under the terms of the agreement, Hamas is to free 50 women and children of the around 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period – extended by an additional day for every 10 hostages released, the Israeli government said.
