Fresh doubt on US-backed 60-day truce proposal, Israel demands release of hostages after Hamas nod

The proposals include the release of 200 Palestinian convicts jailed in Israel and an unspecified number of imprisoned women and minors, in return for 10 living and 18 deceased hostages from Gaza

Demonstrators hold torches, during a protest outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office to demand the immediate release of the hostages kidnapped during the deadly October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas, and the end of the war, in Jerusalem. Reuters
