US President Joe Biden has confirmed Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal, pausing a devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip - though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is yet to confirm his government's agreement.The deal, coming after weeks of painstaking negotiations in the Qatari capital, promises the release of dozens of hostages held by Hamas in phases and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israel.It would allow hundreds of thousands of people displaced in Gaza to return to what remains of their homes and flood badly needed humanitarian aid into a devastated territory.
