Overview

• Hamas has formally rejected Israel's latest ceasefire proposal, which included a 45-day truce, partial hostage release, and disarmament demands, calling it an 'impossible condition.'
• Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 58 Palestinians in the last 24 hours, targeting areas with displaced civilians and escalating the death toll to over 51,000 since the war began.
• Gaza faces its worst humanitarian crisis in 18 months, with severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies due to Israel's blockade, leaving 80% of the population dependent on limited aid.
• Hamas insists on a comprehensive agreement that includes a complete Israeli withdrawal, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the reconstruction of Gaza before any ceasefire is accepted.
• International mediators, including Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S., have struggled to bridge the gap between the two sides as Israel continues its military offensive and expands buffer zones within Gaza.
