🚨 U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has concluded his 9th trip to the Middle East since the start of the war in Gaza, but his ceasefire proposal has yet to be accepted by Hamas. According to sources, Israel has accepted the terms of the proposal, which include, among other things, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from certain areas within the Gaza Strip. However, Hamas has criticized the proposal, calling it a "step backward," and has not yet provided a definitive response on whether they will accept it.
