After Hamas's "yes" to a proposed agreement in Gaza, Israel analyzes next steps with the United States. Hamas suggested that it is open to a new ceasefire and agreeing to the release of more hostages.

The plan would leave Hamas in power in Gaza and allow it to rebuild its military capabilities. Israel remains deeply shocked by the Hamas attack on October 7, when the insurgents raided the south of the country and killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in addition to taking some 250 hostages.
