Hamas says US ceasefire plan accepted by Israel does not meet its demands to end war in Gaza
What we know about the Gaza ceasefire plan that Israel has accepted
- The White House has confirmed Israel's support for a new U.S. ceasefire proposal for Gaza, while Hamas is reviewing the plan but states the terms do not meet its demands.
- The proposal suggests a 60-day pause in fighting, serious negotiations for a long-term truce, and guarantees Israel will not resume hostilities after the hostage release.
- Hamas would release 10 living hostages and some bodies during the pause in exchange for more than 1,100 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
- The proposed deal also includes allowing hundreds of trucks carrying food and aid into Gaza daily, addressing the near-famine conditions due to the Israeli blockade.
- Hamas has offered to give up power to a committee of politically independent Palestinians.
