Egypt Proposes Plan to Revive Gaza Ceasefire Amid Escalating Violence

Egypt has introduced a new proposal intended to restore the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, amidst ongoing Israeli strikes reportedly killing at least 65 people in the past 24 hours. The plan calls for a phased release of hostages by Hamas, with a corresponding timeline for Israeli military withdrawal.

In a move aimed at quelling the escalating conflict in Gaza, Egypt has floated a fresh proposal to restore the previously established ceasefire, according to security sources who spoke to Reuters.

Palestinian health authorities report that recent Israeli strikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 65 individuals within the enclave over the past 24 hours.

The proposal, put forth last week, coincides with heightened violence following the resumption of Israeli air and ground operations against Hamas militants, disrupting a relative calm that had lasted for two months after over a year of conflict.
