Progress made in talks over Israel -Hamas ceasefire and hostage release, officials say.

Three officials acknowledged that progress has been made and said the coming days would be critical for ending more than 15 months of fighting that has destabilized the Middle East .

One of the three officials and a Hamas official said that there were still a number of hurdles to clear.

Israel ’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians , the majority women and children.

Families of the roughly 100 hostages still held in Gaza are pressing Netanyahu to reach a deal to bring their loved ones home.

Hamas -led militants killed about 1,200 people and abducted around 250 others in the attack that ignited the war.
