Israeli official says Gaza ceasefire proposal from Hamas is ‘workable'

An Israeli source familiar with ceasefire talks said Israel was studying the proposal for the Gaza Strip. Hamas confirmed sending a response to mediators in an statement early on Thursday. The deal under discussion is expected to include a 60-day ceasefire in which Hamas would release 10 living hostages and the remains of 18 others in phases, in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. Aid supplies would be ramped up and the two sides would hold negotiations on a lasting truce. Mourners carry the body of a man killed in an Israeli bombardment of Al-Zawaideh, central Gaza (Abdel Kareem Hana/AP) Israel said it was reviewing Hamas's response. A statement from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed receipt of the Hamas reply on Thursday but did not specify what it entailed. The offer came a day after more than 100 charity and human rights groups said Israel's blockade and military offensive are pushing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip towards starvation. Experts say Gaza is at risk of famine because of Israel's blockade and the offensive launched in response to Hamas's attack on October 7 2023. Gaza's Health Ministry said 48 Palestinians have died of malnutrition in the past month, adding that 59 Palestinians died of malnutrition so far in 2025, up from 50 in 2024, and four in 2023 when Israel started its war against Hamas. In the most recent cases, a man and a woman died of malnutrition on Wednesday, the Shifa Hospital told The Associated Press. Of the 113 that died of malnutrition in Gaza since 2023, 81 were children, the health ministry said. US special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Europe to meet key leaders from the Middle East to discuss the latest ceasefire proposal and the release of hostages. Israel's war in Gaza has killed more than 59,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Its count does not distinguish between militants and civilians, but the ministry says more than half of the dead are women and children. At least five Palestinians were killed in central Gaza late on Wednesday, according to the Aqsa Hospital morgue that received the bodies on Thursday in the city of Deir al-Balah. Two people, a man and a woman, were killed east of the city in Israeli tank shelling. Another person was killed by Israeli troops in a shooting in the Bureij refugee camp, and two others were among a group of people hit by an Israeli strike in Zawaida. Elsewhere, Palestinian health officials said on Thursday that two Palestinian teenage boys had been killed by Israeli fire on Wednesday night in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israel's military said its forces fired at Palestinians throwing petrol bombs towards a major road, killing two near the town of Al-Khader. Palestinian health officials named the teenagers killed as Ahmed Al-Salah, 15, and Mohammed Khaled Alian Issa, 17. Violence has spiralled in the occupied West Bank since the war in Gaza began. More than 955 Palestinians have been killed there by Israeli fire during that time, according to the United Nations, many during raids Israel says are to stamp out militancy.

Indonesia condemns Israeli motion to annex the occupied West Bank

Jakarta, Jul 24 (AP) Indonesia has strongly condemned the Israeli Parliament's symbolic motion to annex the occupied West Bank. In a statement Thursday by Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Ministry, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, reiterated that Israel has no legitimate sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territory and that such actions do not alter the legal status of the territory. 'This move constitutes an act of annexation, violating the fundamental principle of non-acquisition of territory by force," the statement said. 'We reaffirm our support for the establishment and sovereign State of Palestine within the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the Two-State Solution." The declarative motion, passed Wednesday by the Israeli Parliament, or Knesset, has no direct legal implications, although it could place the issue of annexation on the agenda of future debates. The Southeast Asian nation urged the United Nations Security Council and the international community to take concrete measures to halt what it termed Israel's illegal actions, saying it aims to make its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory permanent.
