Hamas has partially accepted a Trump-proposed plan to end the Gaza war, marking the closest point to a deal in months. Key points include hostage release, power transfer, and Israeli troop withdrawal.

Negotiators are in Cairo attempting to bridge these differences, with both sides hedging their bets as past negotiations have collapsed. The US is pushing for an agreement.
