WHY DELAY IN GAZA CEASEFIRE - The explanations behind the confusion over a Gaza ceasefire deal: Marwan Bishara

 
Sources have told Al Jazeera that Hamas has agreed to a US proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. It's understood the group and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff agreed to the draft deal, at a meeting in Qatar's capital, Doha. Sources tell us it includes a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 living captives in two stages. The US President will guarantee the terms of the deal and the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Sources say it would guarantee unconditional humanitarian aid from day one. The American envoy is said to have sent the draft to the Israeli government and is waiting for a response. Al Jazeera's Senior Political Analyst, Marwan Bishara, explains why there's a discrepancy in statements between Hamas and US over the proposed ceasefire deal.
