- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel's acceptance of US envoy Steve Witkoff's 60-day Gaza ceasefire proposal on May 29, 2025, amid ongoing talks in the region.
- The proposal, brokered by the US and involving discussions with Hamas, aims to pause fighting temporarily in exchange for hostage releases and humanitarian aid delivery.
- Hamas acknowledged receiving the new ceasefire proposal and is currently examining its details, while continuing to hold 58 hostages and insisting on a permanent ceasefire, prisoner swaps, and a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
- The plan includes Hamas releasing 10 living hostages in exchange for over 1,100 Palestinian prisoners, daily humanitarian aid into Gaza, and guarantees against resumed hostilities, as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated.
- The ceasefire proposal reflects efforts to end more than 19 months of conflict marked by thousands of deaths and displacement, but political constraints and disagreements over permanent terms remain unresolved.
