The Palestinian group Hamas has put forward a new ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has proposed a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and is ready to release more hostages after talks in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday.

After the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intensified its attacks on the Gaza Strip, Hamas started talks in Doha through the mediators of the United States and Qatar. The resolution states that Hamas will release nine hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Similarly, Hamas has demanded that 400 trucks carrying aid material be allowed to enter Gaza daily, BBC reported, citing a Palestinian official. In the cease-fire proposal, Hamas has also put forward a proposal that the patients in Gaza should be allowed to leave. 

Israel, on the other hand, has demanded 'proof of life' and detailed information on all the remaining hostages. Israel has yet to respond publicly to Hamas' new proposal. But before the talks began, he made it clear that he would not withdraw his forces from Gaza and make no commitment to end the war.

The BBC has mentioned that the new ceasefire proposal does not include the withdrawal of Israeli forces or the end of the war. The Israel Defense Forces announced a new offensive called 'Operation Gideon's Chariots' four days ago. It is one of the deadliest attacks ever carried out in the Gaza Strip.

Since the attack on Thursday, at least 300 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to rescuers. According to representatives of aid organizations, hospitals and refugee camps were also destroyed due to the Israeli attack.

After the two-month-long cease-fire between Israel and Hamas broke down on March 18, the IDF stepped up its offensive in the Gaza Strip. Because of this, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is very serious and Israel has been withholding food and other aid for 10 weeks, according to human rights organizations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier announced a military strategy to seize northern Gaza, push the Palestinian population south and "destroy" Hamas. With his announcement, the situation in the north and east of the country where bombings, drone attacks, shelling and explosions continue is very tragic, BBC has mentioned.

According to Netanyahu, the new action has been postponed for a few days due to US President Donald Trump's visit to West Asia. Trump has returned home on Friday after a four-day visit to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. 

The IDF says the attack will continue until the threat posed by Hamas on Israeli soil is eliminated and the hostages are released. "As long as the threat from Hamas remains and all our hostages return home, the operation will not stop," the IDF said. The IDF claims that hundreds of terrorist targets in Gaza have been hit in recent days. 

According to the officials of the United Nations and other aid organizations, most of the residents of the Gaza area have not been able to eat a single meal due to the Israeli attack and blockade. They warned that due to the lack of food, malnutrition among children in Gaza is increasing rapidly and 2.1 million people are at risk of starvation. 

Countries including the US have expressed concern about the latest situation in Gaza. US President Trump has said that many people in Gaza are starving. Likewise, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that he is worried about the latest developments in Gaza.
