Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accepted a bridging proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza, presented by U.S., Egyptian, and Qatari mediators.
During a three-hour meeting in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Netanyahu informed Blinken that Israel agreed to the cease-fire proposal, which aims to narrow differences between Israel and Hamas.
Negotiations are expected to resume this week in Egypt, with Blinken emphasizing that these talks may represent a crucial opportunity to secure hostages and promote lasting peace.
Hamas officials expressed their concerns over the proposal, indicating that they believe it is biased in favor of Israel, but their immediate response was not provided.
