Since October 7, 2023, the death toll in the Gaza War has reached over 57,000, and the number of injuries has increased to over 135,000. An immediate ceasefire would need to stop the ongoing genocide, but Israel once again rejected the proposal for a ceasefire.
Despite multiple rounds of international effort and indirect speech, important disagreements remain unresolved. Israel has refused to amend Hamas’ proposed ceasefire plan, and Hamas has shown an eagerness to negotiate terms, including the exchange of prisoners of war. The violence continues as Israeli forces kill dozens of people every day, exacerbating the humanitarian sacrifices in Gaza.
Trump: “There’s a good chance we’ll sign a deal with Hamas this week. I think it’s closer to a Gaza deal.”
Palestinian sources: “The Israeli delegation is not fully permitted to reach an agreement with Hamas.”
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: Israeli negotiators have clear directions to ensure a ceasefire on terms accepted by Israel.
