"Hamas Offers 135-Day Gaza Truce with Israeli Withdrawal and Hostage Exchange"

Hamas has proposed a 135-day ceasefire in Gaza, during which all hostages would be released, Israel would withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip, and an agreement would be reached on ending the war. The proposal, in response to a diplomatic push for a ceasefire, includes phased releases of hostages and withdrawal of Israeli troops. The proposal is being discussed by Israeli authorities, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is involved in negotiations. The diplomatic push comes amid intense combat in Gaza, with Israel pushing to capture the main city in the south of the enclave, Khan Younis, and fighting also resurging in northern areas.
