Hamas has accepted a new ceasefire proposal brokered by Egypt and Qatar, aiming to end the ongoing war in Gaza that began in October 2023. The proposed deal includes a 60-day truce, the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and a significant increase in humanitarian aid, with 600 trucks allowed into Gaza daily. Israeli forces would pull back to a buffer zone, and further negotiations would take place during the ceasefire to discuss a lasting truce and the release of remaining hostages. However, Israel has yet to respond, maintaining its stance that the war will continue until Hamas is defeated and disarmed. The situation remains tense, with vast destruction in Gaza and high casualties reported, while international attention focuses on Washington's potential influence over Israel's decision.
