Israel Agrees to New Gaza Ceasefire Proposal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted a ceasefire proposal for Gaza, brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff. The deal includes a 60-day truce, the phased release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of 18 deceased captives, and the release of over 1,100 Palestinian prisoners, including those serving long sentences. Israel would allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and partially withdraw troops, though details on withdrawal and aid distribution remain unclear. Hamas has received the proposal and is reviewing it, while pressing for a permanent ceasefire and full Israeli troop withdrawal. The plan aims to address Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis, but key demands from both sides are unresolved. The situation is being closely watched by the international community.
