US EditionNetanyahu says Israel accepts Witkoff's new Gaza truce proposal, media report
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to a U.S.-mediated plan for a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza and facilitating the release of hostages in May 2025.
- The proposal emerged after over 18 months of talks brokered by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, amid disputes over whether the ceasefire should be temporary or permanent.
- Hamas has proposed releasing 10 living hostages held since the October 7, 2023 attack during a 60-day pause, in return for the freedom of over 1,100 Palestinians detained by Israel, including a significant number serving lengthy sentences.
- The war has killed approximately 1,200 Israelis and over 54,000 Palestinians, displaced about 90% of Gaza’s two million residents, and devastated large parts of Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
- Despite this agreement, political constraints on Netanyahu and Hamas’s demands for a lasting ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal complicate prospects for a final resolution.
