The Israeli government rejected a ceasefire proposal, facilitated by President Donald Trump, which would have included the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas; however, a Trump official attributed the failure of the deal to the Palestinian armed resistance group.

An understanding between Hamas through Palestinian-American intermediary Bishara Bahbah and U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff was agreed upon over the weekend. The terms included a 60-day temporary ceasefire, which had been reduced from Hamas' initially proposed 90-day truce, and the release of 10 Israeli prisoners, Drop Site News reported.
