Hamas has agreed to a new ceasefire and hostage return proposal brokered by Arab mediators, which calls for a 60-day pause in fighting and the release of about half of the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Despite this acceptance, the Israeli Prime Minister has signaled plans to continue the offensive in Gaza City and has not directly commented on the deal, indicating that Israel is still weighing its options. The proposal, similar to one previously accepted by Israel, includes provisions for negotiations on a lasting ceasefire during the truce, but Israel maintains its demand for the release of all hostages at once. The ongoing conflict has led to severe humanitarian consequences in Gaza, with thousands dead and warnings of famine, while international mediators continue efforts to revive talks and reach a comprehensive agreement.
