Israel mourns four hostages confirmed dead in Gaza amid a growing push for a ceasefire endorsed by Western powers and regional governments. The plan, outlined by U.S. President Joe Biden, proposes a six-week halt to fighting, followed by a prisoner swap and Gaza’s reconstruction. While Israel views the plan as temporary, Hamas seeks a permanent ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawal. Despite diplomatic efforts, violence continues, prompting the U.S. to draft a UN resolution urging Hamas to accept the deal. G-7 leaders also back the proposal, but the situation remains tense as the conflict persists.
