Hamas has reiterated its readiness for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza based on a previous proposal from US President Joe Biden, rejecting any new conditions. This announcement followed a meeting in Doha with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, where Hamas emphasized that the management of Gaza is a Palestinian internal matter. Key sticking points in the negotiations include the control of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt-Gaza border, which Israel insists is vital for its security. CIA Director William Burns has indicated that a more detailed ceasefire proposal will be forthcoming after ongoing talks have stalled. The conflict, which has lasted for 11 months, has resulted in significant casualties, with Israeli military operations causing over 41,000 Palestinian deaths and extensive injuries. Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel continues its offensive, facing allegations of war crimes and genocide.
