Qatari and Hamas officials say a last-minute dispute in cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas has been resolved.

If Israel and Hamas both agree to the deal, fighting will end for at least 42 days and dozens of hostages will be released.

After months of on-off negotiations conducted by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, there is hope that the remaining details of the ceasefire deal will be resolved within hours and could go into effect on Jan.
