Israel has given Hamas a proposal through Qatari and Egyptian mediators that includes up to two months of a pause in the fighting as part of a multi-phase deal that would include the release of all remaining hostages held in Gaza, two Israeli officials said.
Why it matters: While the proposal doesn’t include an agreement to end the war, it is the longest period of ceasefire that Israel has offered Hamas since the start of the war.
Driving the news: More than 130 hostages are still being held in Gaza. Israeli officials say several dozen hostages either died on October 7 or in the weeks since then.
They say they will let in “more” humanitarian aid, and from the standards they have shown so far, I am not optimistic that people will stop starving.
2 breadcrumbs and 2 bottles of water is more than 1 i guess.
Bottles are dual purpose so those are forbidden. Now the 2 breadcrumbs and puddle of water need to be rechecked so back of the queue. Also the crossing is now closed until tomorrow.
