Hamas also indicated that ceasefire negotiations have been stalled since an Israeli airstrike targeted its leadership in Doha earlier in September .

Reports have emerged regarding a new ceasefire proposal by the United States aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza. The proposal consists of a 21-point plan that includes the handover of all Israeli hostages within 48 hours and the phased withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza, as per information from three Arab officials briefed on the matter.

The proposal also calls for an end to Hamas's governance in Gaza and the disarmament of the group. Additionally, it includes the release of hundreds of Palestinians, many of whom are serving life sentences, by Israel. The plan further proposes the establishment of an international security force to assume law enforcement duties in post-war Gaza.

Donald Trump discussed the plan with Arab and Islamic leaders in New York during the United Nations General Assembly last week . The US President is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.
