Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a withdrawal of troops from the Morag Corridor in southern Gaza, according to Hebrew reports, after several days of disagreements in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over where Israeli forces would withdraw from during a potential ceasefire deal.

Sources told Yedioth Ahronoth that a deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas on the latest withdrawal maps provided by Tel Aviv to mediators, after it conceded on the issue of the Morag Corridor.

Netanyahu stated in closed meetings that the Israeli delegation will remain in Qatar’s capital Doha until agreements are reached, and estimates suggest he is determined to secure a deal, according to the report.
