Hamas Reviewing U.S. Proposals for Gaza Ceasefire as Israel Intensifies Military Operations

Hamas has confirmed that it is reviewing U.S. proposals for a ceasefire in Gaza, while Israel has intensified military operations to increase pressure for the release of hostages.

According to Reuters, U.S. special envoy Steve Wticuff presented the “Bridge Plan” last week, aiming to extend the ceasefire until April to allow more time for negotiations.

On Friday, Israeli forces launched heavy attacks across various parts of Gaza, resulting in multiple casualties. Meanwhile, Hamas leaders stated they are carefully evaluating the U.S. proposals, ensuring their concerns and conditions are addressed before making a decision.

Sources indicate that the success of the ceasefire agreement hinges on a potential understanding between Hamas and Israel regarding hostages. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated that military operations will continue until all hostages are released.

As regional and global powers push for a diplomatic resolution, deep divisions between the parties have kept the future of the ceasefire uncertain.
