Hamas Accepts 60-Day Gaza Ceasefire Proposal, Israel Yet to Respond

News summary

Egypt and Qatar, with support from the United States, are intensifying efforts to broker a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza following Hamas's acceptance of a proposal closely aligned with a prior plan from US envoy Steve Witkoff. The ceasefire aims to facilitate humanitarian aid entry, secure the release of some hostages, and create conditions for a lasting peace agreement and potential revival of the two-state solution. While Hamas has agreed to the phased deal, Israel has yet to respond and is reportedly preparing an expanded military offensive, which has raised concerns over civilian safety and the fate of hostages. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty emphasized that the responsibility now rests with Israel to accept the proposal, warning that failure to do so could exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe. Qatari officials noted the proposal includes a clear path to a permanent ceasefire, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has recently shifted to demanding a comprehensive deal that includes the immediate release of all hostages and other stringent conditions Hamas rejects. Meanwhile, Gaza’s health situation remains dire, with hospitals overwhelmed and thousands of casualties reported since the conflict escalated.
