Egypt has received a formal Israeli proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, according to state-affiliated media reports late Monday.
The proposal is intended to open a path toward broader negotiations aimed at ending the months-long conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Sources told Al-Qahera News that Cairo has relayed the proposal to Hamas and is now waiting for the group’s response.
No specific details of the Israeli offer have been released, but it is believed to include a temporary halt in fighting.
Egypt has long played a central role in mediating between Israel and Hamas, often serving as a quiet channel for diplomacy.
The new proposal comes amid mounting international pressure for a humanitarian pause and a lasting political resolution.
Gaza continues to endure heavy casualties and widespread destruction as the war shows little sign of easing.
Hamas has not publicly responded to the offer, and it remains unclear what conditions might be tied to any agreement.
Diplomats say even a temporary truce could allow desperately needed aid to enter the besieged enclave.
With the situation on the ground worsening by the day, hopes now rest on whether both sides will move toward a lasting peace.
