Hamas has accepted a new ceasefire proposal for Gaza, agreeing to the terms without requesting amendments, following mediation efforts led by Egypt and Qatar. The proposal includes an initial 60-day truce and the release of hostages in two phases, aiming to address the dire humanitarian crisis that has unfolded over more than 22 months of war. While Hamas and other factions have expressed support for the plan, Israel has yet to respond, and mediators are expected to announce the next steps soon. The situation in Gaza remains critical, with ongoing violence, severe shortages of aid, and mounting civilian casualties, as international pressure grows for a lasting solution.
