US Proposes 60-Day Ceasefire for Gaza: Report
- The United States proposed a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, including staged troop redeployments and hostage releases in Gaza.
- The ceasefire proposal followed a breakdown of truce in March and ongoing disputes over Hamas disarmament, hostage returns, and Israeli military control.
- The plan calls for Hamas to release 28 Israeli hostages initially and the remaining 30 after a permanent truce, while Israel ceases operations immediately.
- US envoy Steve Witkoff conveyed a positive outlook on reaching an agreement that would include a temporary ceasefire and a lasting peace, although Hamas officials responded with caution and said they needed more time to review the proposal.
- The temporary ceasefire may be extended pending negotiations, as humanitarian aid deliveries continue amid rising international pressure on Israel to halt fighting and ease Gaza’s famine risk.
