Hamas has agreed to a new cease-fire proposal for Gaza, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, which would involve the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. The plan also calls for Israel to redeploy its forces and allow increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. While the terms are similar to previous proposals accepted by Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet responded, as Israel awaits further details from mediators. The ongoing negotiations come amid concerns for the safety of hostages and civilians, with both sides under significant pressure to reach an agreement. Previous cease-fire talks have faltered, and uncertainty remains over whether a comprehensive deal can be achieved.
