Israeli reports indicated on Thursday that the new US proposal presented by US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff regarding a ceasefire in Gaza includes a presidential pledge that negotiations for a permanent cessation of hostilities will be "serious," but it does not include any guarantee of a complete end to the war.
According to reports, the proposal includes a gradual Israeli withdrawal from areas occupied after the resumption of the war, as part of arrangements for the first days of the agreement.
The report also pointed to a "potential loophole" that would allow Israel to continue managing aid distribution through US companies, as the proposal only provides for UN oversight without specifying the locations and mechanisms for distribution.
