Roi Kais at Kan reporting on X, per Saudi-owned Al-Sharq TV channel, that "there is significant progress," toward a ceasefire-for-hostage deal, "but there are still issues in dispute."

  • Kais notes that, according to "informed Palestinian sources", Israel has agreed for the first time in the negotiations to "withdraw some of its forces from the Philadelphia axis, and also to withdraw completely from the Netzarim axis." 
  • Reuters notes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is a "certain advancement" in negotiations, adding "we are not turning a blind eye to Iran."
  • A senior Palestinian official told the BBC on December 21 that talks to reach a Gaza deal are 90% complete, but key issues remain that need to be bridged, including "the continued Israeli military presence in the Philadelphi corridor." The BBC noted, if these issues were to be resolved, "a three-stage ceasefire could be agreed within days."
  • Reuters summarised earlier today: "A fresh bid by mediators Egypt, Qatar and the United States to end the fighting and release Israeli and foreign hostages has gained momentum this month, though no breakthrough has yet been reported."
