Israel’s response to a new Gaza ceasefire plan, accepted by Hamas, is expected by Friday amid growing pressure following over 62,000 Palestinian deaths. Amid mass protests in Israel for the release of 20 hostages in Gaza, Hamas reportedly softened its demands regarding a prisoners-for-hostages exchange. The proposed plan entails releasing hostages and bodies in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli jails during a 60-day ceasefire. Israel remains resistant to a partial deal and threatens a large-scale offensive in Gaza City, even as talks with Qatar continue to intensify.
