[People carrying signs with pictures of family members who are being held hostage walk down a road.] Relatives of hostages taken by Hamas marched from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last week. Amit Elkayam for The New York Times An Israel-Hamas hostage deal appears close Israel and Hamas appeared to be edging close to a deal that would allow the release of some of the 240 captives held in Gaza in exchange for some Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. The exchange would take place during what would be a brief pause in the war.

If a deal is approved, the hostages may not be released until tomorrow to allow for a 24-hour period for judicial review, Israeli officials said. And until an exchange of captives begins, the situation is likely to remain fluid. Details: People familiar with the hostage negotiations, which have been brokered mainly by Qatar, said they centered on Hamas releasing roughly 50 children and women in exchange for about 150 Palestinian women and teenagers jailed by Israel, as well as a pause in fighting that would last about five days.

The company also agreed to plead guilty and pay $4.3 billion in fines and restitution, and accept the appointment of a monitor, according to court documents. Takeaway: For the relatively young and fast-growing crypto world, the proceedings were a monumental development, given Binance’s global reach and Zhao’s prominent role as a leader in the industry.

Miyazaki’s family fled Tokyo for the countryside in 1944, when he was 3, and his earliest memories, he has said in interviews, involve war and fear. Elements of the film will be familiar to Miyazaki devotees: a lonely child, the threat of violence and a bevy of fantastical, only sometimes cuddly creatures that externalize some part of the protagonist’s desires. But even by Miyazaki’s standards, our new movie critic Alissa Wilkinson writes, [the film is enigmatic, and more an exercise in contemplation than storytelling](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnP5-yP4QPAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTEvMjEvbW92aWVzL3RoZS1ib3ktYW5kLXRoZS1oZXJvbi1yZXZpZXctaGF5YW8tbWl5YXpha2kuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyMzExMjEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4MzE0Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MDY3MiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZVayGl1lMWRjtlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). “With Miyazaki, the draw is subliminal,” she writes, “tapping an unsettling emotional well that seals over as we age.” RECOMMENDATIONS [A sheet pan holding shrimp, tomatoes and feta sits against a light background.
