Hamas has given initial approval for a U.S.-backed proposal for a phased cease-fire deal in Gaza. The approval comes after Hamas dropped a key demand that Israel give an up-front commitment for a complete end to the war. This development was confirmed by both a Hamas official and an Egyptian official on Saturday, July 6. The proposed phased cease-fire plan has reportedly received positive feedback from mediators.
