Indications that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be ready to agree to end the assault on Gaza that has killed 44,800 people – with thousands more lost under the rubble and presumed dead – could raise hopes of an end to the war.

The strike came just hours after President Biden’s national security adviser was in Jerusalem and raised hopes about a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza.

WASHINGTON ( NewsNation) — Top White House officials are hopeful that a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas could be reached “this month” as Hamas has reportedly conceded to two of Israel’s top demands for an agreement: Allowing Israeli forces to remain in Gaza once the fighting stops and a hostage release.

Thousands of Israelis demonstrated Saturday for a deal to release the remaining hostages still held in Gaza after more than 14 months of war against Hamas in the Palestinian territory.
