Overview

  • Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed receipt of Hamas’s latest ceasefire and hostage-release proposal, which an anonymous Israeli official described as “workable.”
  • Hamas formally delivered the proposal to mediators in Egypt and Qatar early Thursday, signaling renewed momentum in diplomatic efforts.
  • U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Europe this week to consult with Middle East leaders on facilitating a truce and prisoner exchange.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that more than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, with aid agencies warning that Israel’s blockade is pushing the territory toward famine.
  • Previous ceasefire bids have faltered because of mutual distrust over terms, leaving intermittent truces tied closely to hostage swaps and prisoner releases.
