Mediators press Israel, Hamas to agree to truce proposal

Fresh strikes were reported in the Gazan city of Rafah overnight into Monday, as mediators urged Israel and Hamas to agree to a truce and hostage release deal outlined by US President Joe Biden.

Since Biden spoke at the White House on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted Israel will pursue the war — now nearing its ninth month — until it has destroyed Hamas and freed the captives taken during the Palestinian militant group’s unprecedented October 7 attack.

Hamas has said it “views positively” what Biden described as an Israeli proposal.
