The Washington Post reported last week that negotiators had compiled a six-page document outlining the procedure for getting hostages safely out of Gaza. It states that under the deal, combat operations would stop temporarily, and a substantial increase in humanitarian assistance would be allowed into Gaza.

The exact length of the pause in fighting is currently uncertain, as are some of the precise parameters of what fighting would be prohibited during the period. Negotiators had called for a five-day pause, though Israel had pushed back against the length of the pause and emphasized that the fighting would continue after the window, with no withdrawal of troops.

“We’re talking about a pause in the fighting for a few days,” Michael Herzog, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
