Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to halt military activities in Gaza during Ramadan, as Hamas considers a truce proposal including a prisoner-hostage exchange. U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed the move, warning of Israel's risk of losing international support due to Palestinian casualties. The proposal aims to repair infrastructure in Gaza and allow aid into the region. Biden hopes for a ceasefire soon, with talks ongoing for a two-state solution. The draft suggests a 10-to-1 prisoner exchange ratio and includes the release of women, children, the elderly, and the sick. Mediators are working to prevent further violence in Rafah.
