Blinken says Israel’s Netanyahu supports new bridging proposal for Gaza truce

The news outlines Israel’s acceptance of a new U.S.-backed proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, following discussions between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The proposal, which involves mediation by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., seeks to address the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over 40,000 people have been killed. However, Hamas has previously rejected the proposal, citing its alignment with Israeli demands. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue in Gaza, resulting in more casualties. Egypt has reiterated its demand for Israel’s withdrawal from key border areas, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas plans to visit Gaza to assert sovereignty and call for an end to the conflict.
