Israel Agrees to US-Backed Gaza Ceasefire Proposal

Israel Backs US Proposal for 60-Day Gaza Ceasefire: White House Washington, D.C. - A potential breakthrough in the ongoing conflict in Gaza has emerged with the White House confirming Israel's support for a 60-day ceasefire proposed by the United States. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday that Israel had 'backed and supported' the proposal before it was sent to Hamas. This development follows weeks of intense fighting and a humanitarian crisis in the region. "Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas," Leavitt confirmed during a press briefing. The statement offers a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the conflict and the safe return of hostages. However, Leavitt also noted that discussions are ongoing and the situation remains fluid. While Israel's backing is a significant step forward, Hamas's response remains crucial. The acceptance of the ceasefire proposal by both sides would mark a major turning point in the conflict, potentially leading to a much-needed period of de-escalation. The White House has emphasized the return of hostages as a top priority. The situation in Gaza remains complex and delicate. The success of this proposed ceasefire hinges on the willingness of all parties to engage in good faith negotiations. The international community is closely watching the developments, hoping for a peaceful resolution that will bring an end to the suffering of the people of Gaza and the return of all hostages.
