The Indian government will continue to provide legal and consular assistance to the accused and may use a 2015 agreement with Qatar for the transfer of sentenced persons.

Hamas To Release Israeli Hostages? | Hamas Agrees to U.S. Proposal, Sparking Hope for End Gaza War

Hamas has accepted a U.S. proposal to negotiate the release of Israeli hostages, potentially ending the nine-month Gaza conflict. This decision comes 16 days after the initial agreement phase aimed at ceasing hostilities. Hamas demands Israel commit to a permanent ceasefire but is open to a temporary one during the six-week talks. The conflict has caused over 38,000 Palestinian and 1,200 Israeli deaths, with 250 hostages. The proposal includes a ceasefire, aid delivery, and Israeli troop withdrawal. Qatar leads mediation, with the U.S. pushing for a deal before the November election. #Hamas #USProposal #IsraeliHostages #GazaConflict #PeaceTalks #Ceasefire #MiddleEastPeace #Diplomacy #HostageNegotiation #GazaWar #ConflictResolution #InternationalRelations #HumanRights #Mediation #GlobalNews
