Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, agreeing to release five hostages, including an American-Israeli, in exchange for Israel permitting aid into Gaza, a temporary pause in fighting, and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Israel has responded with a counter-proposal, details of which remain undisclosed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphasized that military operations will continue until all hostages are returned and Hamas is disarmed. Concurrently, Israel has expanded ground operations in Gaza's southern city of Rafah. The ceasefire negotiations aim to address the ongoing conflict that has resulted in significant casualties and humanitarian concerns. (PC: Reuters & Mint)
