The Israeli government has approved a deal that, if fully executed, will secure the release of dozens of hostages who were kidnapped during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, added humanitarian aid, and the release of Palestinians held in Israel.

The ceasefire is expected to last for four to five days, and Israel will release three Palestinians in its custody for roughly 50 hostages, all women and children, Hamas releases. The deal also includes a provision that the Red Cross would be granted access to the hostages, which they have previously not had.
