Egypt's Mediation Brings New Hope for Gaza Ceasefire

Egypt receives positive indications from Israel on a new Gaza ceasefire proposal. This includes a transitional phase and the release of five Israeli hostages weekly by Hamas. Talks also involve increasing aid to Gaza. Tensions have risen since the previous truce failed in March.

In a significant development, Egypt has reported positive feedback from Israel regarding a new ceasefire proposal for the Gaza Strip. The proposal outlines a transitional phase and involves Hamas releasing five Israeli hostages each week, according to security sources.

Ahead of crucial talks, an Egyptian security delegation has traveled to Qatar to discuss the proposal. This dialogue aims to enhance aid to Gaza and secure the release of remaining hostages, as reported by state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV.

The resumption of violence in Gaza follows the collapse of a previous truce in March after a brief period of calm. While Israeli and Hamas officials continue to exchange blame for the ongoing conflict, hopes persist that Egypt's proposal could pave the way for a more enduring peace.
