U.S. official: " Ninety percent of this deal has been agreed," but two main issues remain: identity of Palestinian prisoners to be freed in exchange for captives still held in Gaza .

Netanyahu has insisted in multiple news conferences this week that Israel must maintain a military presence in the corridor.
