The United States, in collaboration with Egypt and Qatar, is preparing to present a final 'take it or leave it' proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. This proposal is expected to be presented within days, as confirmed by President Biden's administration. The urgency of the situation has been heightened by the recent murder of six hostages, emphasizing the need for a swift resolution. President Biden and Vice President Harris are scheduled to meet with their national security team to finalize the strategy for this proposal. The White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, has communicated with the families of U.S. hostages regarding this impending proposal. The proposal aims to end prolonged negotiations and secure the release of remaining hostages. Meanwhile, major protests have erupted in Israel.
