ISLAMABAD: Israel has agreed to a new ceasefire proposal backed by the United States aimed at temporarily halting hostilities with Hamas in Gaza.
This development marks a hopeful step toward easing the ongoing conflict and potentially securing the release of hostages taken during the initial attacks that sparked the war.
US Role and Ceasefire Prospects
Steve Witkoff, the special envoy appointed by US President Donald Trump, has expressed optimism about brokering the ceasefire deal earlier this week.
The temporary truce could open the door for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza and create conditions for further negotiations between the conflicting parties.
Conflict Status and Next Steps
While details of the ceasefire’s duration and terms are still being finalized, the acceptance by Israel signals a willingness to pause the violence and seek a diplomatic resolution.
The situation remains fluid, and officials from both sides continue discussions to ensure the agreement is upheld and expanded if possible.
The international community is watching closely, hopeful that this ceasefire could pave the way for a more lasting peace in the region.
