US, Egypt hopeful of new Israel-Hamas truce

The US and Egypt express optimism for a potential Israel-Hamas truce.

Hamas delegation headed to Cairo for further negotiations.

What is Egypt’s proposal for Gaza?

Egypt has proposed several initiatives to broker a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The proposals include relinquishing power by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, a multi-stage ceasefire with temporary truces, and the potential formation of a post-war Gaza administration. However, the Palestinian militant groups have rejected some of these proposals and continue to insist on a comprehensive end to the aggression.
