Ceasefire Talks Intensify as Gaza Faces Escalating Civilian Deaths

Hamas approves a truce proposal while Israel submits a counter-offer; airstrikes on Eid al-Fitr kill 17, worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis.

Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, emphasizing that disarmament remains a non-negotiable 'red line.'
Israel has submitted a counter-proposal, developed in coordination with the United States, with no details yet disclosed publicly.
Israeli airstrikes on March 30, the first day of Eid al-Fitr, killed at least 17 civilians, including women and children, in Khan Younès.
Nearly 1,000 deaths have been reported in Gaza since the ceasefire collapsed on March 18, with widespread displacement and restricted humanitarian aid exacerbating the crisis.
Negotiations also focus on the release of Israeli hostages, with Hamas releasing videos of captives to pressure the Israeli government.
