Hamas has received a new proposal for a 60-day truce and phased hostage release, according to a Palestinian official. The framework aims to launch negotiations for a permanent ceasefire, with Hamas set to consult internally and with other Palestinian factions. Diplomatic efforts have intensified, with the Qatari Prime Minister traveling to Egypt for talks, and delegations from Qatar and Palestine present to discuss the plan. The proposal reportedly represents a compromise between a partial ceasefire and a full end to the war, with Israel signaling openness to a phased deal despite previous demands for a comprehensive agreement. Meanwhile, public pressure in Israel for a hostage deal and an end to the war continues to mount, as negotiations proceed amid ongoing violence and humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
