US President Joe Biden has directly offered a ceasefire to Hamas, stressing that the decision now lies with the group.
Biden indicates that the ceasefire could be implemented as early as tomorrow if Hamas releases its hostages.
Additionally, Biden extends an offer to Israel, providing valuable intelligence on Hamas leaders' whereabouts if Israel refrains from a major operation in Rafah.
The US also pledges assistance to Israel in erecting large shelters for Palestinians evacuated from Rafah.
However, Biden issues a warning to Israel, stating that the supply of artillery shells and weapons could be halted if it proceeds with an attack on Rafah.
Despite multiple rounds of indirect negotiations, Hamas and Israel have yet to reach a ceasefire agreement.

In a chilling propaganda display, Hamas handed released hostages bizarre “gift bags” featuring photos of their captivity, a commemorative Gaza photo, and gold-gilded “certificates of release.” The released hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, described the gesture as a “cynical game” aimed at psychological manipulation. Video footage shared by Hamas shows the hostages being escorted through Gaza City by a motorcade of armed, masked terrorists, with crowds mobbing the vehicles. Eventually handed over to the Red Cross, the hostages were transported to safety, marking the first phase of a cease-fire deal.

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical.

In a shocking escalation, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a relentless barrage of 107 rockets and mortars targeting Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The attack, which took place on December 9, 2024, focused on Israeli troops stationed east of Rafah, particularly in the Jenina neighborhood. Intense ground clashes erupted between the Al-Quds Brigade and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), with both sides exchanging heavy fire. This marks yet another chapter in the ongoing conflict between Hamas-backed forces and Israel, following the October 7 attacks that escalated tensions in the region.
