Hamas says agrees to new Gaza truce proposal received from mediators

On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Israelis blocked a highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and demand the release of hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The protests and renewed efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage release deal come after a previous truce, which began on January 19 and involved the exchange of 33 hostages for 1,800 Palestinian prisoners, broke down, leading to resumed fighting and a dire situation in Gaza after 17 months of war.
The U.S. Presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas via Qatari mediators aimed at securing the release of American hostage Edan Alexander, with President Trump suggesting the U.S. Could rebuild Gaza by relocating Palestinians, a comment that sparked backlash.
Hamas released a video of Israeli hostage Elkana Bohbot, who was abducted during the October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war, pleading for his freedom amidst renewed Israeli strikes, while Hamas official Khalil al-Haya stated they approved a new ceasefire proposal from mediators, urging Israel not to obstruct it and emphasizing that "the weapons of the resistance are a red line".
While Hamas claims to have approved a new ceasefire proposal from Egyptian and Qatari mediators, with senior official Basem Naim expressing hope for a breakthrough, Israel has conveyed a counter-proposal in coordination with the U.S., and a Palestinian source close to Hamas stated that "no breakthrough" had been achieved so far, highlighting the ongoing deadlock in negotiations.
