Even though a ceasefire was announced January 15, Israel says that a “last-minute crisis” with Hamas is holding up the long-awaited deal.

In the meantime, Israel is continuing its bombardment of Gaza, killing at least 70 Palestinians in air strikes.

American officials insist they’re just tying up loose ends and that a deal is still going through.

The deal would see an end to the fighting, and the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners as early as Sunday.
