Egypt and Qatar push for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire, backed by the U.S., to end conflict and aid reconstruction.

Egypt and Qatar are stepping up efforts to broker a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, based on a US proposal by envoy Steve Witkoff. Hamas has shown willingness to resume indirect negotiations, though the US envoy found their response "unacceptable." The deal would lead to a permanent ceasefire, release hostages, exchange prisoners, and increase aid, aiming to end the ongoing crisis and facilitate reconstruction.
