"Israel Contemplates Temporary Ceasefire for Hostage Release, Sources Reveal"

Israel is considering a proposal from Egypt and Qatar for a humanitarian pause in the conflict with Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages. The war, now in its second stage, has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries. Aid workers and officials are concerned about a humanitarian disaster as Israel calls for an evacuation of the northern part of Gaza. The Palestine Red Crescent Society received aid trucks from Egypt and Kuwait, while medical supplies were delivered to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Hamas has stated that a prisoner exchange deal is the only solution to the hostage issue.
