Hamas has given a ‘positive’ response to the latest ceasefire proposal regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza, reportedly preparing to enter negotiations with reservations. Despite this, the situation remains dire, with Israeli airstrikes resulting in significant casualties among Palestinians. U.S. President Trump has indicated that a ceasefire deal may be nearing, calling for a resolution during his upcoming meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. However, challenges remain as discussions intensify around hostage negotiations and conditions set by both sides, with mediators working towards securing a lasting agreement.
