"Proposed Ceasefire and Prisoner Swap Amid Mideast Crisis"
TL;DR Summary
Representatives from four nations have proposed a six-week pause in the war in Gaza for Hamas to exchange some hostages for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Meanwhile, a deadly drone strike in Jordan killed three U.S. service members, prompting vows of retaliation from President Biden. In Gaza, torrential rains have worsened the humanitarian crisis for displaced Palestinians, and the embattled U.N. agency for Palestinians, UNRWA, has come under scrutiny for sharing its staff rosters with Israel. Several countries have announced a pause in funding to UNRWA following Israel's accusations against some of its employees.
