Israel and Hamas have reportedly agreed to a hostage release deal.
That comes after Israel spent Thursday accusing Hamas of orchestrating a 'last-minute crisis' that was holding up a hostage and ceasefire agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement saying both sides have now agreed to release over 30 hostages still being held by Hamas. At least two of them are said to be American. Some of the hostages are also reportedly already dead.
The deal now heads to Israel's Cabinet for full approval. The statement also added the families of the hostages have been informed of the agreement.
