The temporary ceasefire saw around 100 Israeli and other hostages freed by Hamas while 240 Palestinian detainees and prisoners were freed. Israel also, briefly, allowed more humanitarian aid into Gaza. When it broke down, both Israel and Hamas accused each other of wrecking the negotiations to extend it.

Israeli negotiators attending ceasefire and hostage release talks in Doha have expressed “cautious optimism,” even as some gaps between both sides persist, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
