luzribeiroIt seems Israel and Hamas have now agreed to a deal that will pause fighting in Gaza and lead to the phased release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners:

This deal was brokered by Qatar, so credit should go there (before anyone mentions Trump).
Anyway. Implementation is likely to start this Sunday. Hamas is expected to release 33 hostages during the 1st phase of an the deal. Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will also bv\e released from Israeli jails at the same time.
The release of the hostages would be the first phase of the deal being finalized. Negotiations to reach the 2nd phase (intended to end the war) would begin on the 16th day of the implementation of the deal.
More will come in the next few days.
