Hamas says it has received some ideas from the US through mediators on how to reach a Gaza ceasefire agreement. The Palestinian armed group stated that it was in discussions to develop these proposals, expressing readiness to release its 48 remaining hostages in exchange for a clear declaration to end the war.

A Palestinian official relayed that the US plan would ensure the hostages are freed within the first 48 hours of a 60-day truce, in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails and good-faith negotiations on a lasting ceasefire. This dialogue follows US President Donald Trump's assertion of a last warning to Hamas, claiming that Israel has accepted the proposals without revealing specifics.

Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, indicated the country's willingness to agree on a ceasefire deal that includes the release of all hostages, with reports suggesting that only 20 hostages are currently alive. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned citizens in Gaza City, which is facing severe famine conditions, to evacuate immediately as the Israeli military intensifies its offensive.

Israeli air strikes have continued, resulting in numerous casualties over recent days, while the ground operations aim at dismantling Hamas's infrastructure within Gaza.

Hamas has communicated its intention to negotiate the release of all individuals taken hostage during a prior attack on Israel, demanding an end to hostilities, a full withdrawal from Gaza, and the establishment of an independent governance body. Trump reiterated the urgency for Hamas to accept the framework, as humanitarian conditions worsen in Gaza, with significant numbers affected by malnutrition and starvation amidst ongoing military actions.
