US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he is “hopeful” Hamas will accept Israel’s latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza and a hostage release deal.

He called the offer "extraordinarily generous", and a Hamas delegation is now discussing the potential deal with mediators in Cairo.

It comes after weeks of impasse, while Israel’s government faces growing pressure from its global allies and the families of hostages, to agree a deal.

The proposal reportedly involves new wording on restoring calm meant to satisfy Hamas's demand for a permanent ceasefire, having been brokered by mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the US – in a bid to secure another pause in the fighting and the release of hostages who Israel says are still being held.
