Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that his government has accepted a U.S.-proposed ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. The announcement was reported by state-owned Kan TV news.
According to Kan, Netanyahu made the remarks during a meeting with families of hostages who are believed to be deceased. The proposal was presented by U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
This development could mark a significant step toward easing tensions in the region. While specific details of the ceasefire agreement have not been disclosed, the acceptance signals a possible move toward renewed peace efforts.
The ongoing situation in Gaza has drawn international concern, with many urging for an end to the conflict. The involvement of the United States highlights the global community’s desire for stability in the Middle East.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available on the ceasefire and the conditions of the hostage release.
