ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT A potential ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel may include a six-week pause in hostilities, the Washington Post reported, citing unnamed officials. The officials disclosed this information following negotiations in Paris, where discussions focused on ending the conflict. According to the media outlet, all civilian hostages being held by Hamas inside Gaza could be released if the pause is agreed upon. Notably, Hamas previously insisted on a permanent ceasefire as a prerequisite for talks and is now allegedly open to exploring alternative options, according to Qatari Prime and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. https://s1.krakenfiles.com/uploads/31-01-2024/z9ZrHsqe4G/image.jpg
