Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal for Gaza promoted by Egypt and Qatar, reports AFP. The plan envisions a 60-day truce and phased hostage releases, though Israel has yet to respond. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was “beyond imagination” and signalled Cairo could join an international stabilisation force if backed by the UN. More than 62,000 Palestinians have died since October 2023.
