Palestinian group Hamas has accepted a three-phased ceasefire deal, including a hostages-for-prisoners swap with Israel. The proposal entails Hamas releasing 33 Israeli hostages, regardless of their condition, in exchange for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners. The agreement, greeted with enthusiasm by crowds, outlines a gradual release process over weeks. However, Israel finds the terms unacceptable, citing perceived softening. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue military pressure on Hamas, rejecting their demands to end the Gaza conflict.
