The talks between the two sides had reportedly hit a last-minute snag. Israel had claimed that Hamas tried to “change agreed-upon understandings for security arrangements” along Gaza's border with Egypt.

Qatar’s prime minister, who has been mediating the talks, met separately with Hamas and Israeli delegations, and shortly afterwards, the dispute was resolved, the Qatari official told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss behind-the-scenes negotiations.

The ceasefire agreement marks the end of a 15-month-long conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The United States, Egypt and Qatar have spent the past year trying to mediate an end to the war sparked by Hamas' attack on Israel in October 2023.
