Hamas Accepts Gaza Ceasefire Proposal Amid Ongoing Tensions

Hamas has announced its acceptance of a new ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, signaling a potential step toward de-escalation in the Gaza conflict. Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official, confirmed the group's approval of the proposal, which includes the release of five hostages weekly and a pause in fighting.
