Ceasefire in Sight? Hamas Responds Favorably to Gaza Proposal

Hamas has provided a positive response to the 60-day ceasefire proposal for Gaza, suggesting a potential shift towards peace after months of conflict. The group has communicated its readiness to negotiate the implementation of the framework. Israel previously accepted the proposal, which was backed by the United States. Hamas has put forth amendments to the proposal. The terms of the proposed ceasefire include the release of Israeli hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners. Subsequently, Israel would withdraw from certain areas in northern Gaza, and negotiations for a lasting ceasefire would begin. The impact of the conflict on the people of Gaza has been devastating. Donald Trump has advised Hamas to accept the deal, cautioning against further escalation.
