Israel is currently reviewing a revised response from Hamas regarding a proposed ceasefire and hostage release deal, as fighting and airstrikes continue in the Gaza Strip. Both sides are under significant pressure to reach an agreement, with humanitarian conditions in Gaza worsening and reports of widespread hunger and deaths from malnutrition. The new proposal from Hamas is described as more flexible, but significant gaps remain, particularly concerning the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the distribution of aid. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have killed several civilians in central and southern Gaza, and international mediators continue to push for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian access.
