Israel, the United States, and Hamas have reached a tentative deal brokered by the U.S. to pause the conflict in Gaza and free dozens of hostages. The agreement includes a five-day freeze in combat operations while an initial 50 or more hostages are released in smaller batches every 24 hours. The release of women and children held captive is expected to lead to the first sustained pause in the conflict. The deal also aims to increase humanitarian assistance, including fuel, to enter Gaza from Egypt.

The Biden administration has fully backed the temporary pause in fighting and has prioritized the release of American hostages.
