Israel has called the Hamas' latest ceasefire proposal "workable", but no more details were provided. Hamas confirmed early on Thursday that it sent the proposal to mediators.

The Hamas response came as top US envoy Steve Witkoff was set for travel to Europe to meet with key leaders from the Middle East to discuss the latest ceasefire proposal and hostage release.

On Wednesday, more than 100 charity and human rights groups said that Israel's blockade and military offensive are pushing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip toward starvation.
