Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi announced a proposal for a two-day cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, providing for the release of hostages and humanitarian aid to Gaza, marking a critical point in ongoing mediation efforts.
While negotiations continue to seek a permanent cease-fire, the current proposal includes terms that involve releasing Palestinian prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza, all amidst stalled direct talks between the parties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Israeli forces will only leave Gaza after Hamas is dismantled, indicating a significant barrier to the realization of a cease-fire despite efforts from mediating countries.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized that resolution to the hostilities cannot rely solely on military means, indicating the need for difficult compromises to ensure the safety of hostages.
