CEASE-FIRE TONIGHT. THE FRAMEWORK FOR THIS DEAL. WOULD BEGIN ON SUNDAY. IT COMES 15 MONTHS AFTER HAMAS'. HORRIFIC ATTACK ON ISRAEL. AND TONIGHT, THESE FAMILIES HAVE. HOPE, BUT THEY ARE ALSO FILLED. WITH FEAR. THEY DO NOT KNOW IF THEIR LOVED. ONES WILL COME HOME ALIVE. PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCING THE. DEAL, A MULTISTEP FRAMEWORK. BASED ON A POTENTIAL DEAL HE.

FIRST INTRODUCED LAST MAY. NEGOTIATED WITH QATAR AND. EGYPT'S HELP, AND IN RECENT. DAYS, WITH PRESIDENT-ELECT. DONALD TRUMP'S MIDEAST ENVOY. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID TODAY THEY. ALL USED ONE VOICE. IN ISRAEL TONIGHT, FAMILIES OF. HOSTAGES GATHERING IN TEL AVIV. OUR CORRESPONDENT WAS RIGHT. THERE. THEY HOPE THEIR LOVED ONES WILL. COME HOME ALIVE. AND THE CELEBRATIONS AND THE. RELIEF ON THE STREETS OF GAZA. TONIGHT, HOPING MUCH-NEEDED HELP. FOR CIVILIANS WILL NOW MAKE IT. IN. AGAIN, AMERICANS ARE AMONG THE.

HOSTAGES, AND OUR FOREIGN. CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE. WAS RIGHT THERE IN TEL AVIV, HE'S THERE LIVE TONIGHT, IN. WHAT'S CALLED HOSTAGE SQUARE, WHERE FAMILIES WERE GATHERED. WHEN THIS NEWS BROKE. TOM? >> Reporter: YEAH, DAVID, WE. WERE HERE WHEN FAMILIES GOT THE. NEWS THAT FINALLY, AFTER MORE. THAN 460 DAYS, THERE WAS A DEAL. TAKE A LOOK BEHIND ME. THIS IS A MAKESHIFT TUNNEL. THE TYPE OF TUNNEL THAT THE. HOSTAGES HAVE BEEN HELD IN. THESE FACES, A DAILY REMINDER OF. THE MISSING. BUT FAMILIES DON'T KNOW TONIGHT. WHETHER OR NOT THEIR LOVED ONES. ARE DEAD OR ALIVE, AND THAT. INCLUDES AMERICANS.

A SENSE OF RELIEF IN THE STREETS. OF TEL AVIV AND GAZA TONIGHT. AFTER ISRAEL AND HAMAS AGREE TO. A CEASE-FIRE, WITH THE RELEASE. OF DOZENS OF HOSTAGES STILL HELD. INSIDE GAZA IN EXCHANGE FOR. HUNDREDS OF PALESTINIANS FREED. FROM ISRAELI PRISONS. STARTING THIS SUNDAY AND OVER. THE NEXT 42 DAYS, ISRAELI TROOPS. WILL WITHDRAW THEIR FORCES TO A. BUFFER ZONE AROUND THE GAZA. STRIP, HALTING MILITARY. OPERATIONS FOR THE RELEASE OF 33. HOSTAGES, STARTING WITH ALL. WOMEN, CHILDREN, ELDERLY, AND.

THE SICK AND INJURED. THE PAUSE IN FIGHTING WOULD. ALLOW DESPERATELY-NEEDED. HUMANITARIAN AID TO FLOOD INTO. GAZA AND ALLOW NEGOTIATIONS TO. BEGIN FOR A LONG-TERM. CEASE-FIRE. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN. NETANYAHU, WHO APPROVED THE. DEAL, WILL NOW SEEK THE GREEN. LIGHT FROM HIS SECURITY CABINET. BEFORE GOING TO HIS WIDER. GOVERNMENT. BARRING ANY LEGAL OBJECTIONS, THE IDF WOULD START RECEIVING. HOSTAGES IN WHAT THEY'RE CALLING. "OPERATION WINGS OF FREEDOM.". AMONG THOSE THAT COULD BE.

RELEASED IN PHASE ONE, TWO OF. THE SEVEN AMERICANS CAPTURED AND. BELIEVED TO STILL BE ALIVE. SAGUI DEKEL-CHEN, A FATHER OF. THREE. AND KEITH SEIGLE, A NORTH. CAROLINA NATIVE. EDAN ALEXANDER, A DUAL AMERICAN. CITIZEN, WAS SERVING IN THE IDF, STATIONED IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL THE. MORNING OF OCTOBER 7th. WHILE IT'S BELIEVED HE WON'T BE. RELEASED IN THE FIRST ROUND, HIS. FATHER SPEAKING JUST HOURS AGO, SAYING HE'S NEVER LOST HOPE. >> UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE. FAMILIES THAT ARE WAITING FOR. THEIR LOVED ONES TO BE BURIED IN.

ISRAEL, THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER, AS WELL. >> Reporter: GIL DICKMANN, COUSIN OF HOSTAGE CARMEL GAT WHO. WAS KILLED IN CAPTIVITY, PRAISING PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP. >> I THINK TRUMP WAS THE. X-FACTOR IN BRINGING THIS DEAL. TO LIFE. >> Reporter: THE FRAMEWORK. OF THE DEAL SPEARHEADED BY THE. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, QATAR, AND. EGYPT, HAS BEEN ON THE TABLE. SINCE MAY. BUT AFTER TRUMP'S ELECTION. VICTORY IN NOVEMBER, THERE WAS. RENEWED MOMENTUM TO CLOSE THE. AGREEMENT. >> I KNEW THIS DEAL WOULD HAVE. TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY THE NEXT.

TEAM, SO I TOLD MY TEAM TO. COORDINATE CLOSELY WITH THE. INCOMING TEAM, TO MAKE SURE. WE'RE ALL SPEAKING WITH THE SAME. VOICE. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT AMERICAN. PRESIDENTS DO. >> Reporter: WITH JUST DAYS. BEFORE HE TAKES OFFICE, TRUMP. CALLING IT AN EPIC AGREEMENT. THIS DEAL, A MAJOR PROMISE FOR. THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. >> IF THE DEAL ISN'T DONE BEFORE. I TAKE OFFICE, WHICH IS NOW. GOING TO BE TWO WEEKS, ALL HELL.

WILL BREAK OUT IN THE MIDDLE. EAST. >> Reporter: THE DEAL, THE FIRST. TRUCE SINCE DECEMBER 2023, NOW. PUTS ISRAEL AND HAMAS ONE STEP. CLOSER TO ENDING A 15-MONTH WAR. THAT BEGAN EARLY ON OCTOBER 7th. WHEN HAMAS FIGHTERS BRUTALLY. KIDNAPPED AND KILLED MORE THAN. 1,200 ISRAELIS. FOLLOWING THE HORRIFIC ATTACK, AN UNRELENTING ASSAULT LAUNCHED. BY ISRAEL. ENTIRE AREAS REDUCED TO RUBBLE. TO THIS DAY, MORE THAN 46,000. PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED. BACK HERE IN HOSTAGE SQUARE, WHERE SO MANY HAVE PUSHED THE. GOVERNMENT FOR A DEAL,

HEARTBREAK AMID THE CELEBRATION. >> THE DEAL THAT THEY'RE SIGNING. IS VERY MUCH THE SAME DEAL THAT. THEY HAD IN MAY. CARMEL WAS THERE ON THE LIST FOR. THE VERY FIRST PHASE, AND THEY. DIDN'T SIGN IT IN TIME. >> Reporter: AND DAVID, NETANYAHU SPEAKING TO BOTH. PRESIDENT BIDEN AND. PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP. ABOUT THE DEAL. BUT MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE SPOKEN. TO TONIGHT ARE WORRIED. THEY'RE NOT CONFIDENT THIS. INITIAL CEASE-FIRE WILL LEAD TO. PHASES TWO AND THREE OF THE. DEAL, AND LASTING PEACE IN GAZA. DAVID?

>> David: THAT MAKESHIFT TUNNEL. AND THOSE FACES OF ALL OF THOSE. LOVED ONES, IT'S A STARK. REMINDER OF THE MORE THAN 400. DAYS THAT THE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN. WAITING FOR NEWS. AND LET'S JUST HOPE THEIR LOVED. ONES COME HOME ALIVE. THANK YOU, TOM, WHO WAS RIGHT. THERE TODAY WHEN THIS BROKE. LET'S GET RIGHT TO OUR CHIEF. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT IAN. PANNELL, ALSO IN TEL AVIV. TONIGHT. A QUESTION FOR YOU, IAN, AS. WELL, AND IT'S WHAT SO MANY ARE. ASKING TONIGHT. HOW WILL THE INCOMING. ADMINISTRATION AND MIDEAST.

LEADERS KEEP THIS TENTATIVE. CEASE-FIRE GOING, BEYOND THIS. VERY TENTATIVE FIRST PHASE? >> Reporter: YEAH, I MEAN, A LOT. OF GROUND HAS BEEN COVERED, BUT. THERE'S FAR MORE GROUND THAT. STILL HAS TO BE COVERED. I THINK A LOT OF MIXED EMOTIONS. THIS EVENING ON BOTH SIDES. BUT AN OVERWHELMING SENSE OF. RELIEF THAT THIS COULD BE THE. START OF THE END OF THE WAR. IN GAZA AND HERE IN TEL AVIV, WE. SAW PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREET, SOME CELEBRATIONS. BUT THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS. OF THIS AGREEMENT. AND I THINK THE TOUGHEST PART OF. THE NEGOTIATION DOES LIE AHEAD. FOR THE INCOMING TRUMP TEAM, NOT. LEAST WHO IS GOING TO RUN GAZA, WHEN AND IF ISRAELI TROOPS FULLY. WITHDRAW. DAVID? >> David: OUR CHIEF FOREIGN. CORRESPONDENT IAN PANNELL WITH.

US, AS WELL. IAN, THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ON. THIS TONIGHT, BECAUSE PRESIDENT. BIDEN DELIVERED HIS FAREWELL. ADDRESS TO THE NATION JUST A. SHORT TIME AGO. LET'S BRING IN MARY BRUCE. THE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT THIS. CEASE-FIRE AND THE DEAL TO BRING. THE HOSTAGES HOME, SOMETHING. HE'S WORKED ON FOR MONTHS. THE DEAL COMING WITH DAYS LEFT. IN HIS ADMINISTRATION. >> Reporter: DAVID, PRESIDENT. BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION. WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR MONTHS TO. REACH THIS AGREEMENT. LEAVING OFFICE. >> THIS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED AND.

NEGOTIATED BY MY TEAM, AND IT. WILL BE LARGELY IMPLEMENTED BY. THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION. THAT'S WHY I TOLD MY TEAM TO. KEEP THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION. FULLY INFORMED, BECAUSE THAT'S. HOW IT SHOULD BE. WORKING TOGETHER AS AMERICANS. >> Reporter: DAVID, THE TIMING. OF THIS DEAL IS CERTAINLY HARD. TO IGNORE. IT'S COMING TOGETHER DAYS BEFORE. TRUMP TAKES OFFICE AND AS HE. MADE THOSE THREATS. PRESIDENT BIDEN DID BRING THE. TRUMP TEAM INTO THESE FINAL. NEGOTIATIONS. WHILE TONIGHT DONALD TRUMP IS. TAKING CREDIT, THE WHITE HOUSE.
