Hamas has rejected the latest US-led ceasefire proposal presented during talks in Doha, Qatar, citing new conditions from Israel. The proposal aimed to address humanitarian concerns and facilitate a hostage-prisoner swap amid ongoing conflict. Despite these setbacks, US President Joe Biden remains hopeful and has dispatched Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Israel. The mediation team, including US, Egyptian, and Qatari officials, plans to resume negotiations in Cairo next week. The war, ignited by Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, has resulted in significant casualties and humanitarian crises in Gaza.
