Israel accepted a new ceasefire proposal presented by US envoySteve Witkoff while Hamas says it is reviewing the plan.
According to Israeli media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed the families of hostages held in Gaza that the government would move forward with Witkoff’s framework.
He said that Israel remains committed to securing the return of all captives and will not withdraw from Gaza until that goal is met.
Hamas confirmed Thursday it had received the proposal from mediators and is currently examining its terms.
The group stated it would evaluate the plan in a way that prioritizes Palestinian interests, humanitarian relief, and a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The renewed diplomatic effort comes amid mounting international pressure to end the fighting, which has resulted in staggering civilian casualties and a growing humanitarian crisis. Talks are expected to intensify as both sides signal cautious engagement with the new proposal.
