Israel Weighs Hamas Truce Offer Amid Gaza Offensive Plans
Israel and Hamas are discussing a possible break in the fighting in Gaza.
Hamas agreed to stop fighting for 60 days and release some hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
The deal would also allow more food and supplies into Gaza, where many people are suffering.
Israel is thinking about this offer while also planning an attack on Gaza City.
There is pressure from both sides.
Some Israelis want to end the war and get hostages back.
Some politicians in Israel want to keep fighting until Hamas is gone.
It is a complex situation with no clear solution yet.
Israel is reviewing a Hamas proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and hostage release.
The proposal involves the release of 200 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 10 living and 18 deceased hostages.
Hamas agreed to the proposal without added demands, aiming to end the war.
Israel is planning a ground offensive in Gaza City.
