Israel’s war cabinet has been briefed on a potential ceasefire deal with Hamas following negotiations in Paris.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> gathered ministers late on Saturday night after Israeli envoys returned from meeting US, Egyptian and Qatari mediators.<\/p>\n

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told US media they “came to an understanding” on the basic outline of a deal.<\/p>\n

Details of the war cabinet’s discussions have not been revealed, but Israeli media outlets cited unnamed officials and reported a truce lasting several weeks had tacitly been agreed.<\/p>\n

It would be the second ceasefire following one in November which saw several hundred Palestinians released from Israeli jails and about 100 hostages freed by Hamas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr Netanyahu told CBS programme Face The Nation that another pause in the fighting wasn’t yet a done deal and Hamas needed to make further concessions.<\/p>\n

“They’re in another planet. But if they come down to a reasonable situation, then yes we’ll have a hostage deal. I hope so,” he said.<\/p>\n

Negotiators have been ramping up efforts in the hope of heading off an Israeli ground assault on the southern Gaza<\/strong> city of Rafah, where more than one million displaced people are sheltering.<\/p>\n

Aid groups have warned of a catastrophe and Western governments have again urged Israel<\/strong> to do its utmost to avoid civilian casualties.<\/p>\n

Mr Netanyahu wrote on X that the cabinet was set to approve “operational plans” for Rafah, including a civilian evacuation, in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was also in Cairo this week to meet Egyptian mediators.<\/p>\n

Security sources in Egypt said further talks involving Israeli and Hamas representatives would take place in Qatar this week, although there’s been no official confirmation so far.<\/p>\n

Pressure on Mr Netanyahu to secure the release of hostages taken during October’s Hamas attack on Israel remains very high.<\/p>\n

Thousands turned out for a vigil in Tel Aviv on Saturday – a short distance from an anti-government protest where demonstrators clashed with police.<\/p>\n

More than 1,200 Israelis died in the attack last year, while the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 29,692 Palestinians have been killed, two-thirds of them women and children.<\/p>\n

Medics said at least 86 Palestinians died this weekend after more strikes. Israel said two of its soldiers died in fighting in southern Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
