In a potential breakthrough for Gaza, Israel has agreed to a U.S.-proposed ceasefire deal, while Hamas says it’s reviewing the terms. The White House confirmed Israel’s acceptance Thursday, though details remain under wraps. 🔍
Deal or No Deal?
The proposed 60-day truce includes releasing 10 living hostages and 18 deceased hostages’ remains, per CBS News sources. But Hamas claims the offer doesn’t address core demands like ending Israel’s blockade or halting military operations entirely. 🚨
Sticking Points
Hamas official Basem Naim called the plan insufficient, arguing it lets Israel’s 'occupation' continue. Meanwhile, Israel insists Hamas must disarm and return all 58 remaining hostages before peace talks progress. 💥
Why Now?
Pressure is mounting globally: European nations are pushing for relief efforts, and Gaza’s health officials report over 54,000 Palestinian deaths since Israel’s campaign began after Hamas’ October 2023 attack. The conflict has left Gaza in ruins, with no clear path forward. 🌍
As both sides dig in, the world watches: Will this deal stick, or become another failed truce? Stay tuned. ⏳
