Progress made in talks over Israel -Hamas ceasefire and hostage release, officials say.

One person familiar with the talks said there had been a breakthrough overnight and that there was a proposed deal on the table.

A Hamas official, however, said that a number of contentious issues still need to be resolved, including an Israeli commitment to ending the war.

Israel ’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians , the majority women and children.

Hamas -led militants killed about 1,200 people and abducted around 250 others in the attack that ignited the war.

Families of the roughly 100 hostages still held in Gaza are pressing Netanyahu to reach a deal.
