Gaza: Hostage deal is close
The deal would see Israeli hostages freed in Gaza in return for a four-day ceasefire.
We hear from the father of a nine year-old girl believed to be held by Hamas and we look at what a deal would mean for the next stage of the war. A senior Palestinian official also outlines his plans to govern Gaza.
