Overview

• Israeli TV Channel 12 and Axios report the U.S. plan calls for a truce, a pause in Israel's Gaza City offensive, and the release of all living hostages within 48 hours, with remains to follow, in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners including some serving life sentences.
• Israel has not formally confirmed acceptance of the terms, though the proposal is being very seriously considered in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s circle, according to Times of Israel.
• Hamas stated it is prepared for immediate talks and is pressing for a clear public declaration ending the war, a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and a Palestinian committee to administer Gaza, with guarantees Israel will not unilaterally resume fighting.
• Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed a 'last warning' to Hamas and threatened a 'hurricane' of strikes as the IDF prepares to expand operations to seize Gaza City.
• Netanyahu said about 50 high-rises in Gaza City were destroyed in recent days and urged residents to leave, with roughly one million people believed to be in the city and about 100,000 reported to have evacuated so far.
