Amid a surge in violence, with Israeli airstrikes resulting in numerous casualties in Gaza, Egypt has put forth a new proposal aimed at restoring a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Reports indicate that at least 65 people have been killed in recent strikes, prompting calls for a truce. Hamas has reportedly responded positively to Egypt’s proposal, while Israel claims it has not received any new terms. Concurrently, there are discussions around a potential hostage deal involving the release of five hostages in exchange for a ceasefire, although negotiations remain stalled. As the humanitarian situation in Gaza deteriorates, Egypt is pushing for a solution, while military operations by the Israeli Defense Forces continue to escalate.
