"Paris Talks Yield Temporary Cease-Fire Plan for Gaza, Potential Hostage Releases"

Israeli officials are optimistic about a plan for a temporary cease-fire in Gaza and the release of more hostages, with an outline of an agreement reached in Paris with American, Egyptian, and Qatari representatives. The plan includes a prisoner-hostage exchange and details on IDF operations in Gaza during the truce. The Biden Administration has asked Israel to stop targeting the civilian police force in Gaza to avoid exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Additionally, the Israeli Defense Force raided the home of a senior Hamas intelligence officer in Southern Gaza, finding a tunnel and weapons. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni linked Russia's invasion of Ukraine to Hamas' attack on Israel, expressing support for a two-state solution.
