The White House is intensifying efforts to secure a new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas reaches a boiling point.
With the death toll mounting and humanitarian crisis deepening, US negotiators are working around the clock to hammer out a deal.
The new proposal aims to address the major sticking points that have hindered progress in talks mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt.
While much of the agreement has been agreed upon, negotiators are still grappling with two key obstacles: Israel’s insistence on maintaining a military presence in the Philadelphi corridor and the specific individuals to be included in a hostage exchange.
As the situation grows more urgent, CIA Director William Burns leads a team of senior US officials, including White House coordinator Brett McGurk and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a high-stakes effort to broker a ceasefire.

With the region on edge, the US is shifting from a consultative approach to a more assertive stance, seeking to impose a ceasefire plan on the parties.
As Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority reject Israel’s demand to keep troops in the Philadelphi corridor, the US is considering a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains adamant that Israel will not withdraw from the corridor, complicating the negotiations.
With the humanitarian crisis worsening and the death toll mounting, the international community is watching anxiously as the US works to secure a ceasefire.
Will the new proposal be enough to break the impasse and bring peace to the region?
