Hamas has accepted a fresh ceasefire proposal from mediators, while emphasizing that their armaments are non-negotiable. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed receiving the proposal and submitting a counter-offer. The discussions between Hamas and mediators aim to reinstate a ceasefire and hostage release agreement in Gaza. The temporary peace in the region ended on March 18 when Israel resumed its aerial campaign. The negotiations come after warnings from both sides about the consequences of not reaching an agreement.
