Hamas has responded to a US-mediated ceasefire proposal for Gaza, offering to release 10 live and 18 deceased Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The proposal, which includes a 60-day truce and increased humanitarian aid, lacks guarantees of a permanent ceasefire. Hamas initially expressed reluctance, stating the initial framework didn't meet their demands. Negotiations are ongoing.
