US still discussing Gaza ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas

Investing.com -- The United States is engaged in discussions regarding a ceasefire proposal for Gaza that Hamas has accepted, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Speaking at a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Leavitt confirmed that talks are ongoing about the proposal, which would establish a 60-day truce between Israel and the Palestinian militant group.

Leavitt suggested the timing of Hamas’s acceptance was significant, stating, "I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Hamas accepted this proposal after the president of the United States posted a very strong statement about this conflict on Truth Social yesterday."
