ISRAEL: Al Arabiya-Hamas Submits Gaza Deal Response; US NSA Talks Up Ceasefire

ISRAEL
EM Bulletmarkets-real-timeHomepagePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market NewsMiddle East

Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya reports that Hamas has submitted its final response to the draft Gaza ceasefire agreement without any comments. This could indicate Hamas' acceptance of the deal. Al Arabiya: "A Hamas official confirmed on Monday that talks on key issues related to a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip have made progress." Israel claims that it has not received any response from Hamas. 

  • Israel's N12 reports "Earlier today, a Hamas source told  CNN: "We are very close to a ceasefire agreement with Israel."  Later, the mediators informed Hamas that they are demanding an answer today - "by midnight." [...] Earlier today, Hamas issued a statement hinting at the imminent release of prisoners.." N12 also reports two gov't offices being instructed to prepare for the arrival of hostages.
  • Nadav Elimelech at I24 news reports that Knesset members from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's ultranationalist Religious Zionism have said they will not back such a deal, possibly risking PM Benjamin Netanyahu's majority.
  • Speaking to Bloomberg, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said there was a "distinct possibility" of a deal before the transition of power in Washington, D.C., on 20 Jan.
  • A ceasefire could see a decline in attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen, with the war in Gaza being cited as a major factor in their attacks on commercial shipping. A reduction in threat in the Red Sea could see shipping return to the region, reducing the lengthy delay to cargoes from Asia to Europe forced by travelling via the Cape of Good Hope.
