  • Hamas in Cairo for talks on new Gaza ceasefire proposal: AFP

A Palestinian source familiar with the negotiations told AFP that “mediators are working to formulate a new comprehensive ceasefire agreement proposal” that would see all remaining captives in Gaza released “in one batch.”

The proposal could include "a 60-day truce, followed by negotiations for a long-term ceasefire, and an agreement to exchange all Israeli captives, both living and deceased, in a single batch," according to the same source.

According to Al-Qahera News (also known as Cairo News Channel), a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya has arrived in Egypt to take part in consultations on Gaza ceasefire talks.

Earlier in the day, AFP cited two sources confirming that senior Hamas figures were traveling to Cairo to meet Egyptian officials as part of mediation efforts. One source noted the visit was “at Egypt’s invitation,” adding that al-Hayya would meet officials “to discuss the latest developments in ceasefire talks and captive exchanges.”

A Hamas official separately told AFP that the group “has not received any new proposal” from the Israeli side via mediators but “remains ready to reach an agreement if Israel decides.” He stressed that Hamas is seeking “a permanent end to the war,” as well as the lifting of the Israeli siege and restrictions on aid to guarantee its smooth entry into Gaza.

Later, Hamas official Taher al-Nounou, currently in Cairo, said preliminary talks have begun, with formal meetings set to start on Wednesday. He confirmed that discussions will focus on halting "Israel’s" war on the Gaza Strip, facilitating humanitarian aid, and ending the suffering of Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

Al-Nono added that the talks will also address internal Palestinian relations, aiming for comprehensive national consensus on political issues, as well as ways to strengthen bilateral ties with Egypt. He praised Cairo’s efforts on the Palestinian cause, stressing that relations between Hamas and Egypt remain “strong and stable” and that joint work continues across multiple files.

Famine claims the lives of 5 Palestinians in the past 24 hours

Five Palestinians have died in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, bringing the total number of Gaza starvation deaths to 227, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, including 103 children.

The ministry said the deaths reflect the deepening malnutrition crisis in Gaza, which the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has now confirmed as active famine in most of the Strip. Additionally, two out of three famine thresholds have been breached, affecting more than 2 million Palestinians.

Nearly 12,000 children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition, the highest monthly figure ever recorded. Additionally, more than 2,500 are experiencing severe acute malnutrition, the most life-threatening stage. Moreover, in Gaza City, one in five children is now acutely malnourished, a rate that has tripled since June 2025.

Rising death toll

On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health reported that 100 martyrs, including 11 whose bodies were recovered from rubble, and 513 wounded had arrived at hospitals across the Strip in the past 24 hours. Among those killed in aid massacres, the ministry recorded 31 martyrs and 388 wounded in the past 24 hours, bringing the total in such incidents to 1,838 martyrs and 13,409 wounded.

Since "Israel" broke the ceasefire on March 18, 2025, 10,078 Palestinians have been martyred and 42,047 wounded. The overall toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has reached 61,599 martyrs and 154,088 wounded.

Only 19 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain partially operational, most offering only basic emergency care. Ninety-four percent of hospitals are damaged or destroyed, leaving just 2,000 beds for over 2 million people. Additionally, critical shortages of blood and medical supplies persist, with premature infants in imminent danger due to fuel shortages.
