In a significant development amid ongoing hostilities, Egypt has proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza, aiming to facilitate the release of four hostages and an exchange of prisoners. The proposal comes as talks have resumed in Doha, with involvement from key Israeli officials including the head of Mossad, who is set to attend the negotiations. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi revealed the plan, emphasizing the exchange of captives as a crucial step towards peace. Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict has resulted in a high number of casualties, prompting urgent calls for a truce from various parties, including Hamas, who have stated their willingness to cease fighting if Israel agrees to the ceasefire.
