Recall
UNN reported that disagreements arose within Hamas regarding the new US ceasefire proposal in Gaza.
The political leadership outside the Gaza Strip, mostly based in Qatar and Istanbul, allegedly favors a ceasefire. According to Guardian sources, those elements of the terrorist group still active in the Gaza Strip allegedly want to continue fighting.
It later became known that Hamas leaders are close to accepting the proposed ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
The Israel Defense Forces announced control over 65% of the territory of the Gaza Strip.
