After two long years of war, people in Gaza and in Israel are exhausted and cling to hopes of a lasting ceasefire.
The coming days will be critical when it comes to ending the conflict and suffering for people in Gaza.
The world will be watching as fresh diplomatic efforts begin between both sides in Egypt tomorrow.
US President Donald Trump has said a ceasefire will begin immediately when Hamas agrees to a new plan to end the war.
Tomorrow's talks will begin a day before the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks in Israel in which around 1,200 people were killed.
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are on their way to Egypt today to finalise the technical details of the plan, including the release of hostages.
In a significant step yesterday, President Trump called on Israel to stop the bombing in Gaza to give the ceasefire proposals a chance.
But those calls seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as bombs continued to rain down on the Palestinian territory.
President Trump has invested significant political capital in his efforts to end the war that has killed over 66,000 people in Gaza.
Hamas is under pressure now to accept the deal on the table with President Trump warning the group to act quickly on the plan or, he said, "all bets would be off".
The group has agreed to some elements of the plan, including the release of Israeli hostages.
As momentum around a ceasefire deal increases, key sticking points remain including the fact that Hamas has not said if it will disarm - a key demand by Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarised. These obstacles will have to be overcome between both sides in order for lasting peace to take hold.
Mr Netanyahu is under pressure by Israeli families whose loved ones are being held hostage in Gaza. He has said he hopes to announce the release of hostages in the coming days.
People on the streets of Tel Aviv say they want the war to end, they say the economy is suffering, their livelihoods are being impacted and they say they want the hostages returned home.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister is also under pressure from his right-wing coalition partners who say they will not agree to any ceasefire deal unless Hamas disarms.
This deal is now the best hope to end the bloodshed in Gaza, free the hostages and ease the desperate humanitarian situation there.
People in Gaza who have watched one ceasefire deal after another fail over the past two years will be hoping that the end of this war is finally in sight.
