Israel Holds off on Peace Delegation as Hamas Responds to New Truce Proposal

Israel is waiting for Hamas to respond to a new truce proposal before sending a delegation to Egypt for negotiations. The decision was made to hold off on sending a delegation until Wednesday evening, giving Hamas time to provide a response. Officials have described the truce proposal as “very generous,” including a 40-day ceasefire and the release of hostages and prisoners.

After a meeting in Cairo involving Egypt and Qatar, Hamas returned to Doha to provide their response as soon as possible. International leaders such as David Cameron and Antony Blinken have expressed hope for Hamas to accept the deal, emphasizing the need to stop the fighting. Negotiations for a new truce have been ongoing since Hamas’ attack on Israel seven months ago, but so far have not been successful.

The conflict resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with Israel promising to annihilate Hamas. While talks for a truce continue, Israel remains prepared for military action if necessary. The situation is complex and involves various proxy-related articles that do not relate directly to the content discussing the Israel-Hamas truce negotiations.
