Hamas Accepts New Gaza Ceasefire Proposal Amid Ongoing Conflict

Hamas has reportedly accepted a new ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the violence in Gaza and facilitating the release of hostages, as confirmed by multiple sources, including officials and mediators from Egypt and Qatar. The acceptance comes as the Palestinian death toll surpasses 62,000, intensifying international pressure for a resolution. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, while expressing skepticism, acknowledges that Hamas is under immense pressure and indicates that negotiations may now focus on the comprehensive release of hostages. Despite the positive developments regarding the ceasefire, Netanyahu has hinted at continued military operations if all demands are not met. As talks progress, the situation remains tense with ongoing protests and discussions about the potential for a partial deal.
