Hamas agrees to cease-fire proposal, but Israel strikes Rafah and deems deal insufficient

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The White House is closely monitoring the recent strikes in Rafah, but according to a U.S. official, they do not appear to be part of a major military operation in densely populated areas as initially feared. The strikes seem to be a targeted tactical operation at this point, with the administration keeping a close eye on the situation as it unfolds.

Meanwhile, rapper Macklemore has announced a new single titled “Hind’s Hall” aimed at raising funds for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees. This marks the first song released by a prominent American musician denouncing the siege on Gaza, with Macklemore praising pro-Palestinian protesters and calling for a cease-fire and Palestinian liberation in the snippet released on Instagram.

In Israel, Minister Benny Gantz has vowed to leave no stone unturned in efforts to bring remaining hostages home from Gaza. Despite ongoing military pressure on Rafah, Gantz’s negotiating team is reviewing Hamas’ response to a framework deal for the release of captives, emphasizing the importance of humanitarian efforts in the region.

On the international front, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has called on both Israeli and Hamas leadership to go the extra mile to reach an agreement and end the suffering of civilians caught in the conflict. The U.N. chief stressed the need to protect civilian lives and uphold international law during this critical time.
