Israeli Prime Minister's office said on October 10 that the government had "approved the framework" of a hostage release deal with Hamas, as both sides edged closer to ending more than two years of hostilities in Gaza. The Gaza deal follows a 20-point peace plan for Gaza announced last month by US President Donald Trump, who said he planned to leave on October 12 for the Middle East.
