Overview
- The U.S. proposal envisions an immediate ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and an international stabilisation role in Gaza.
- Israeli officials say Netanyahu will push for changes, objecting to elements such as a role for the Palestinian Authority and references to future statehood.
- Hamas says it has not received a formal offer, while its armed wing reported losing contact with two hostages in Gaza City after requesting a 24-hour halt to air sorties.
- Israeli forces expanded operations in Gaza City, striking 140 targets and leveling the 16‑storey Macca Tower, which the military said housed Hamas infrastructure.
- Gaza’s health ministry says the death toll has surpassed 66,000, and international pressure is rising, including a Berlin march that police estimated at about 50,000 people.
