Hamas has agreed to a new 60-day ceasefire proposal mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and international organizations. According to Reuters, the deal includes Hamas releasing half of the hostages it currently holds in exchange for Israel freeing a number of Palestinian prisoners. Sources in Egypt said the framework also paves the way for a broader agreement aimed at ending the nearly two-year-long conflict. The plan is reportedly similar to a previous U.S.-backed proposal that Israel had already accepted.
