Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said the group agreed to the latest truce proposal and “offered the necessary flexibility to protect our people, stop the crime of genocide, and allow the free and dignified entry and flow of aid to our people until we reach a complete end to the war”. He added that the areas Israeli troops should withdraw to as part of the first phase of a ceasefire had to be drawn up in a way that does not affect Palestinian lives and “paves the way for the second phase of negotiations”. Despite the prospects of a ceasefire, Israeli forces continued to attack various parts of the enclave, killing at least 74 people on Wednesday, eight of whom died while waiting for food at a distribution point of the Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
