WASHINGTON, November 19. /TASS/. The United States, Israel and the Palestinian radical movement Hamas have agreed to a tentative deal that would see a five-day pause in fighting, The Washington Post (WaPo) said, citing people familiar with its provisions.

According to them, the deal would "free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for a five-day pause in fighting," the newspaper reported. The release of hostages could begin in the next few days, the people told WaPo.
