Israel and Hamas are believed to have agreed that 10 living hostages and the remains of 18 others should be released during the first 60 days of a cease-fire, but they have not reached a consensus on how many Palestinian prisoners should be freed during the same period. Up to 20 hostages are still thought to be alive.

The Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal may be closer to reality than ever before. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have both voiced strong optimism that a breakthrough is imminent.
