Yesterday, after more than a year of devastating war in Gaza, a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Hamas.
News of the deal prompted celebrations in the rubble filled streets of Gaza and relief in Israel.
But the ceasefire isn't a done deal yet.
The agreement was announced by Hamas and by us, Qatari and Egyptian negotiators, but Israel hasn't officially approved it.
Israeli officials delayed a vote on the deal, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement.
A Hamas official told a news outlet that Netanyahu's accusation was baseless.
The drama underscored how tenuous this historic deal is.
So we seem to have an agreement for a ceasefire, but do you think we really have an end to this war?
That's a really good question.
We have a pathway to the end to the war.
That's what I would say.
We have some sort of kind of ladder to pull us out of all of the mud that we're in at the moment.
But we need to see if the players will decide to go through with it.
