The United States has proposed an extension of the current ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for hostages held by Hamas, according to reports from the Washington Post on Thursday.
The initiative aims to prolong the temporary truce, allowing more humanitarian aid to reach civilians affected by the ongoing conflict. In return, Hamas would release additional hostages, potentially easing tensions in the region.
While specifics of the proposal remain undisclosed, the move signals a possible shift towards de-escalation after weeks of violence. An extended ceasefire could bring much-needed relief to the people of Gaza, many of whom are facing shortages of essential supplies.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation, hopeful that this proposal could lead to more substantial peace talks and a lasting resolution to the conflict.
