Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 57 Palestinians on Friday, health officials said, as Hamas continued weighing a U.S.-brokered proposal to end nearly two years of war – a plan that critics say heavily favors Israel.
The deal, announced in Washington by President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calls for Hamas to release all 48 remaining hostages, surrender power, and disarm.
In return, Israel would free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and halt its military campaign.
The plan guarantees aid and reconstruction but offers no roadmap to Palestinian statehood, a key demand for Hamas and much of the Palestinian public.
A senior Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that “some points are unacceptable” and require revisions.
