Israel faces US pressure over two‑week Gaza ceasefire plan
The United States is urging Israel to begin a 14‑day ceasefire in Gaza aimed at disarming Hamas, according to reports from Israeli state television and other sources. Israeli cabinet members remain divided: several ministers have publicly opposed the ceasefire, describing the proposed roadmap as dangerous for Israel, while the government’s secretary Yossi Fuchs said Israel has not yet signed the agreement that would permit multinational forces to enter the enclave.
Mediators from Egypt, the United States, Qatar and Turkey have struggled to convene a follow‑up meeting in Cairo, and a Hamas delegation is still stationed in Egypt awaiting further negotiations. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have continued to breach the ceasefire, conducting artillery, tank and aerial strikes across Gaza, including in the areas of Beit Lahiya, Jabalia and near the Al‑Kamal Adwan hospital. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that since the ceasefire began on 10 October, 1,256 people have been killed and 4,125 injured, adding to the overall toll of the conflict.
