Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has accepted the latest proposal from mediators that increases the chance of a deal with Hamas.
| The United States stepped up pressure for a ceasefire deal in Gaza on Monday as its top diplomat said a new proposal had been put to Hamas, whose officials were in Cairo talking to Egyptian mediators. Israeli airstrikes killed 26 people in Gaza’s southernmost town of Rafah, according to hospital records.
One question is whether that will be enough to overcome Hamas concerns over the ceasefire’s second phase. Egypt has stepped up mediation efforts for a ceasefire deal in hopes of averting an assault on Rafah, on Gaza’s border with Egypt.
