The ceasefire deal that is close to being agreed in Gaza has left families of the 98 hostages still held in the enclave facing a mix of hope, apprehension, and, in some cases, anger as negotiators make a final push to seal an agreement.

Family members of hostages held in captivity in the Gaza Strip expressed disappointment on Tuesday that the draft agreement with Hamas would not include the release of all the hostages in the first stage,

An initial 42-day cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, being negotiated in Doha, could be finalized in the next 24 hours with the release of 33 hostages currently being held in Gaza, according to senior officials.
