"US Strikes Houthi Drone Base as Hostage Deal Details Bedevil Middle East Crisis"

TL;DR Summary
Qatar's foreign ministry reports that Hamas has given initial positive confirmation to a proposed ceasefire deal involving the release of Israeli hostages, but a Qatari official states that there is no deal yet and they are waiting for Hamas' response. Meanwhile, the US has ordered reprisal strikes against an Iranian-backed militia, and the UK could recognize a Palestinian state after a ceasefire in Gaza. Additionally, Palestinians rounded up in Gaza have reported abuse and torture while in Israeli detention, and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns of shutting down operations if funding does not resume.
