Breakthrough In Gaza Ceasefire Talks? Mediators Race To Seal Deal Ahead Of Trump Return

In today's episode of India Global, according to Israeli officials, Israel has submitted the 'final' proposal to Hamas for a deal for ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and release of hostages held by terrorists. This comes as negotiators are race against time to secure a deal before US President Joe Biden leaves office and President-elect Donald Trump assumes office on January 20. For over a year, Israel and Hamas have been engaged in indirect talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar and facilitated by the United States. On Sunday, Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stressing on the immediate need of reaching a deal, while outgoing NSA Jake Sullivan said that the deal "was very very close and yet far".
