US and Israel Negotiate Ceasefire, Gaza Governance Plan
The US and Israel are working on a deal to end the conflict in Gaza.
If Hamas releases all hostages and gives up their weapons, the US would run Gaza.
If Hamas refuses, Israel, with US support, would increase military actions.
The deal comes as disturbing videos of starving hostages have been released, leading to more calls for a solution.
Previous attempts to reach a ceasefire agreement failed.
A new ceasefire and hostage release proposal is being negotiated by the US and Israel.
The proposal would see the US lead an international administration in Gaza if Hamas agrees to release hostages and disarm.
Donald Trump would authorize the IDF to intensify military operations if Hamas rejects the terms.
Disturbing footage of emaciated hostages has increased pressure for a resolution.
Recent indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas ended in deadlock.
