After months of gridlock, US President Donald Trump has finally secured a long-awaited ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas. So, how did the agreement come about? And is it all it's cracked up to be?

Negotiators in Doha, Qatar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner were all key to the agreement.
