Cease-fire Efforts Intensify in Israel-Hamas War Amid Ongoing Violence

As negotiations continue, Israel's proposed two-month cease-fire is rejected by Hamas, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens.

• Efforts to reach a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas are intensifying, with Egypt, the U.S., and Qatar actively pursuing ways to halt the war that has raged for over 110 days. However, a formula acceptable to both sides remains elusive.
• Israeli forces are advancing through the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, causing significant civilian casualties and displacement. A tank shelling hit a United Nations training center in the city, killing at least nine people and wounding 75.
• Israel has proposed a two-month cease-fire in which hostages would be freed in exchange for the release of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, and top Hamas leaders in Gaza would be allowed to relocate to other countries. However, Hamas has rejected this proposal.
• Israel continues to press ahead with its offensive until it destroys Hamas’ military and governing capabilities and frees all hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expects the war to last throughout 2024 and has resisted calls to lay out a clear postwar plan for Gaza.
• Israel's military campaign in Gaza has resulted in over 25,000 Palestinian deaths and displaced an estimated 85% of Gaza’s population, according to local health officials and international aid agencies.
