The U.S. State Department is holding a press briefing to discuss the recently reached ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, facilitated by negotiations in Doha, Qatar. This announcement follows intense diplomatic efforts involving the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt.
The agreement outlines a multiphase ceasefire plan. In the initial phase, Hamas is expected to release 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners—estimates suggest around 1,000 Palestinians may be released from Israeli detention.
