The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has been a source of tension for many months. Recently, Israel announced that it would wait for Hamas to respond to a new truce proposal before sending a delegation to Egypt for negotiations.
The decision was made in order to give Hamas enough time to provide a response. Officials have described the truce proposal as a “very generous offer,” which includes a 40-day ceasefire and the release of hostages and prisoners.
Hamas delegation returned to Doha after meeting with Egypt and Qatar in Cairo to provide their response as soon as possible. International leaders such as David Cameron and Antony Blinken have expressed hope that Hamas will accept the deal, emphasizing the need for peace.
Negotiations for a new truce have been ongoing since Hamas’ attack on Israel seven months ago, but so far have not been successful. Despite this, Israel remains prepared for military action if necessary. Various proxy-related articles are interspersed throughout this text and do not relate directly to the content discussing the Israel-Hamas truce negotiations.
