Israel is considering a truce proposal from Hamas, which includes a 135-Day 'Truce Plan' with Israel Defense Forces' full withdrawal from Gaza, a phased release of Palestinian prisoners, and immediate reconstruction of the enclave after 124 days of bombardment and ground invasion. However, an Israeli official expects that Israel will reject Hamas' response to the hostage deal proposal, with the expectation that mediators from Qatar and Egypt will then pressure Hamas to accept a more reasonable framework. Defense Minister Gallant informed US Secretary of State Blinken that Hamas' response, part of a three-phase ceasefire plan, was crafted to ensure Israeli rejection, indicating a potential continuation of the conflict and an expansion of Israeli ground operations in Gaza.
