"Israel Accepts Proposed Ceasefire, Awaits Hamas Response: US Official"

Israel has "basically accepted" a six-week ceasefire proposal in Gaza, awaiting Hamas' response, while the US is pushing for a temporary ceasefire and increased aid flow into the region. Talks involving the US, Israel, Egypt, and Hamas are ongoing, with Vice President Kamala Harris set to meet with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz to discuss the urgency of securing a hostage deal and expanding aid flows into Gaza. The US and Jordan have air-dropped humanitarian aid into Gaza, but President Biden emphasized that more aid is needed.
