The U.S. and Israel have announced a ceasefire plan intended to conclude the ongoing war in Gaza, contingent on Hamas's acceptance. The proposal stipulates that Hamas must release 48 hostages within 72 hours and disarm, while Israel would reciprocate by releasing Palestinian prisoners. The plan envisions a transitional governing body for Gaza, supported by international oversight, but lacks clarity on the timeline for Israeli troop withdrawal. Despite broad international support, including from Arab nations, Hamas's initial response has been negative, complicating the situation. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu presents the plan as a security victory, yet faces internal opposition from far-right coalition partners. The proposal's success hinges on Hamas's willingness to comply with its terms, which may threaten its survival as a militant group.
