In a recent development, a senior Hamas official revealed that Israel’s response to the group’s latest Gaza ceasefire proposal was negative. The proposal, handed over by mediators, failed to meet the demands set forth by Hamas.

- Over the past week, more than 100 aid workers have lost their lives, and dozens have been wounded in eight attacks carried out by Israeli forces.
- As the situation remains tense, international attention remains focused on finding a resolution. The hope is that renewed dialogue will pave the way for a lasting ceasefire and alleviate the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds.
