Israel delays Gaza cease-fire decision pending U.S. election outcome
Summary: Israel is considering a new cease-fire proposal from Egypt but is waiting for the outcome of the U.S. presidential election next week. The proposal includes a two-day cease-fire and the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
The ongoing conflict has intensified, with Israel's bombardment of northern Gaza resulting in over 800 deaths since early October. The situation has led to significant civilian displacement and humanitarian concerns.
Recent talks involving U.S. and Israeli officials aim to explore a unified approach to cease-fire negotiations. However, no immediate breakthrough is expected before the U.S. election, and Israel has reportedly rejected parts of the Egyptian proposal.
