The terms of a deal between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages are being finalised, a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations has told the BBC. It comes as White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said a truce and hostage deal could be done "this week".

Majed al-Ansari, adviser to the Qatari prime minister, said on Jan. 14 that ceasefire "talks are now underway on the final details" and that a deal is at the "closest point" it has ever been.
