💨 Abstract

Hamas, seeking changes to a temporary ceasefire proposal with Israel, offered to release some hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Their conditions include an end to the war and Israeli troop withdrawal, which Israel has rejected. Meanwhile, a blockade in Gaza has led to severe food shortages and looting, with the UN describing the situation as the worst since the war began 19 months ago. Israel denies accusations of a starvation policy and blames Hamas for obstructing aid efforts.
