Israel-Hamas cease-fire, hostage release deal reached [Video]

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a cease-fire deal that also ensures the release of hostages, Fox News has confirmed.

President Biden, joined by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, held a press conference announcing that the deal would roll out in three phases. 

Biden said the first phase will last six weeks and “includes a full and complete ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from all the populated areas of Gaza, and the release of a number of hostages held by Hamas, including women and elderly and the wounded.” “And I’m proud to say Americans will be part of that hostage release and phase one as well. And the vice president and I cannot wait to welcome them home,” he said.
