The United States, Qatar, and Egypt have proposed a plan to end the ongoing war in Gaza. The mediators announced a "bridging proposal" aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives. Talks in Doha have been described as "serious and constructive." The proposed deal involves a six-week pause in fighting, followed by a permanent ceasefire and the release of all captives. US President Joe Biden expressed optimism about reaching an agreement soon. However, Hamas insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a significant prisoner exchange before agreeing to the terms.
