Hopes for a swift ceasefire in the Gaza conflict are dampened as both Hamas and Israeli officials dismiss Joe Biden's optimistic timeline. Hamas's Basem Naim states they haven't received a formal ceasefire proposal, labeling Biden's remarks 'premature.' Israeli officials express surprise, citing Hamas's 'excessive demands.' Biden's expectation of a truce by March 4 faces skepticism. As tensions rise with Ramadan approaching, desperate civilians in Gaza await relief. The proposed deal includes a 40-day military pause, prisoner exchanges, and humanitarian measures. The precarious situation challenges efforts to broker a comprehensive ceasefire before the holy month.
