“The talks are progressing” and as “all parties are showing flexibility, a deal can be reached before [the holy month of] Ramadan,” which starts on March 10, Haaretz reported, citing a foreign diplomat.

Color me very skeptical. Hamas' only leverage now to get out of the war they started is the hostages, and Israel will not end the war to get them back. To give them up without an Israeli withdrawal is defeat for Hamas, and for Israel to leave Hamas in Gaza is suicide for themselves.
