Israeli President Isaac Herzog signaled willingness to engage in another foreign-mediated truce with Hamas amid the ongoing conflict, aiming to secure the release of hostages held by the militant group. Herzog emphasized the potential benefits for both sides, enabling more aid to reach the Palestinian enclave. However, Hamas rejected negotiations on prisoner exchange during the conflict, expressing openness to initiatives for ending aggression and facilitating aid. The United Nations Security Council is anticipated to address the Gaza situation, delayed by ongoing negotiations. International pressure mounts on Israel to reassess tactics in the conflict against Hamas.
