Hamas Accepts US Ceasefire Proposal; Israel Rejects

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to escalate, with recent reports indicating a potential turning point. Hamas has reportedly accepted a US-brokered ceasefire agreement, a proposal that would involve the release of 10 prisoners in exchange for a 70-day truce. However, this development has been met with immediate rejection from an Israeli official, who declared the terms unacceptable. A Hamas official, speaking to Al Arabiya, stated: "The movement agreed to the American proposal for a ceasefire." In contrast, an Israeli official stated: "It is impossible for any Israeli government to accept it." The conflicting statements highlight the deep divisions and challenges in achieving a lasting resolution. The situation remains fluid, with the international community closely monitoring the developments and working towards a peaceful resolution.
