STORYLINE:
Smoke could be seen over the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, as ceasefire negotiators await Israel’s response to the latest Arab proposal.
Hamas said Monday it had accepted a proposal developed by Egypt and Qatar, which contains only slight modifications to an earlier one advanced by the United States and accepted by Israel.
The deal would include a 60-day truce, the release of some of the hostages held by Hamas in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, a flood of humanitarian aid into Gaza and talks on a lasting ceasefire.
Israel has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas is disarmed.
Israel announced plans to reoccupy Gaza City and other heavily populated areas after ceasefire talks appeared to break down last month, raising the possibility of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which experts say is sliding into famine.
Plans to expand the offensive, in part aimed at pressuring Hamas, have sparked international outrage and infuriated many Israelis who fear for the remaining hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that started the war.
