US Secretary of State Antony Blinken continues his Middle East trip, aiming to achieve de-escalation and an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as the release of hostages. Israel has accepted the proposal, and now it's Hamas' turn to respond.

Blinken has met with relatives of the hostages and reported on the pressure on Hamas leader Sinwar. Controversial issues include the control of the Philadelphi Corridor and the opening of the Rafah border crossing.

Negotiations are pending for a permanent ceasefire, and the deployment of Netanyahu's expert team. The Israeli military has destroyed a Hamas tunnel with a weapons cache, and an Israeli soldier was killed in a drone attack from Lebanon.

Israeli fighter jets have also targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon. Blinken emphasizes that the bridging proposal reflects the contents of the ceasefire agreement.

The situation remains tense, with ongoing violence and challenges in the negotiations for a lasting peace.
