Hamas says it has agreed to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that would see it release 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 deceased hostages in return for hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. The proposal is almost identical to an earlier ceasefire plan advanced by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. Israeli media report Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the offer and signaled he still plans to invade Gaza City and forcefully displace its entire population to the southern Gaza Strip — this after, on Sunday, close to a million Israelis demanded that Netanyahu not invade Gaza City and agree to a ceasefire and a release of the hostages.
