Six Palestinians were reportedly killed in recent strikes in Gaza, bringing the total death toll in the conflict to over 73,000, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The strikes occurred as Hamas announced a response to a 15-point peace proposal intended to advance ceasefire negotiations. While Hamas signaled engagement with the blueprint, sources indicate significant disagreements persist, particularly regarding the issue of disarmament. The details of Hamas’s response have not been publicly disclosed. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a substantial humanitarian crisis and widespread devastation within Gaza. International efforts to mediate a lasting ceasefire continue, but progress remains limited due to these key sticking points. The future of negotiations remains uncertain as fighting continues.
