Hamas leaders were reviewing a new peace proposal from the United States that demanded the surrender of arms amidst ongoing conflict in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 46 Palestinians. Tragedy struck as a mother and her six children perished in a missile attack on their residence, along with casualties from other strikes in the area. The U.S. presented the peace plan to Hamas, giving them a tight deadline of just a few days to accept the terms.
The proposal, endorsed by Israel, outlined conditions for Gaza residents to stay in the territory, offered amnesty to Hamas fighters, and required the cessation of hostilities along with the immediate release of hostages. International support for the plan poured in, with countries like Britain, France, Italy, and several Arab and Muslim nations backing the initiative.
While the proposal aimed at ending the conflict and facilitating humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Gaza, it faced opposition from extremists on both sides. Nevertheless, world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, expressed support for the peace plan, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and the importance of immediate relief efforts for civilians in the region.
As the situation unfolded, Hamas engaged in discussions with other Palestinian factions to assess the proposal’s implications, with no definitive timeline set for their response. The plan outlined a comprehensive framework for peace, including the disarmament of Hamas, the release of hostages, and international oversight of Gaza’s governance and security.
