‘We are close to a deal’, US says as Gaza ceasefire negotiations continue

A top official in the US is confident a Gaza ceasefire deal will be in place before Donald Trump takes office as president. Discussions have been ongoing between Qatari mediators and a senior Israeli delegation for several days in Doha. Details are now emerging with Israeli media reporting that a prisoner exchange deal will be implemented in three stages. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says all sides are on the brink of a deal that could possibly be finalised by the end of Joe Biden's presidency this week.
