Gaza: The Palestinian resistance group Hamas confirmed on Wednesday that it has received proposals from mediators aimed at reaching an agreement to end the war in Gaza, secure an Israeli withdrawal, and provide urgent humanitarian relief to Palestinians. 'We are engaging with a high level of responsibility and conducting national consultations to discuss the proposals we received from the (Egyptian and Qatari) mediators,' the group said in a statement.
According to Anadolu Agency, these proposals aim to end the aggression, achieve Israeli army withdrawal, and ensure immediate relief for the people in Gaza. The mediators are reportedly making intensive efforts to bridge the gap between the parties and reach a framework agreement that would pave the way for serious negotiations.
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize a 60-day ceasefire in the enclave, urging Hamas to accept the proposal. Despite international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has continued its operations in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of more than 57,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, since October 2023.
In related developments, last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Moreover, Israel is currently facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
