A deal is in the works to release Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for a prolonged pause in fighting in Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening. NPR’s Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv
that it would be similar to the November exchange of Israeli hostages
and Palestinian detainees, done in phases over several months
CIA chief William Burns, as well as top officials from Israel, Qatar and Egypt, have been meeting in Paris to try to strike a deal. Estrin says there are still gaps between what Israel and Hamas want — especially when it comes to pausing versus ending the fighting — and more talks planned for this week.
