Secret negotiations are reportedly underway to establish a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, as confirmed by sources from Al-Arabiya and mediators involved. The Palestinian organization Hamas has submitted a list of Israeli hostages to Egyptian officials as pressure mounts on Israel to withdraw troops from the Philadelphi Corridor. U.S. National Security Deputy Advisor John Finer noted that the Biden administration sees progress in negotiations, which aim to secure a ceasefire before President Joe Biden’s term ends. Despite increasing momentum, challenges remain in finalizing any agreement.
