Hamas said on Sunday evening that it is ready to immediately enter a new round of indirect negotiations with Israel to resolve outstanding points

While the militant group says it will release 10 living and 18 deceased hostages still held in Gaza, there appear to be other details that need to be worked out before a ceasefire is declared.

With the U.S. announcing Israel has accepted a new proposal for a temporary ceasefire with Hamas, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip expressed their hope the war would come to an end, saying that death and starvation are spreading fast in the besieged enclave.
