Hospitals say that Israeli strikes overnight killed at least 57 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Hamas was still considering its response on Thursday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for ending the nearly two-year war. The plan requires Hamas to return all 48 hostages — about 20 of them thought by Israel to be alive — to give up power and disarm in return for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and an end to fighting. Palestinians long for the war to end but many believe the plan favors Israel, and a Hamas official has said some elements were unacceptable, without elaborating.

Hamas says it will study U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza both within the group and with other Palestinian factions before responding. There was no indication on Tuesday when that response might come. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already thrown his support behind the proposal. Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands that it effectively surrender and disarm. But if it rejects the deal, the U.S. could give Israel an even freer hand to continue its punishing campaign in the already devastated territory. Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed at least 31 Palestinian in Gaza.

Local hospitals report at least 31 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. This comes amid discussions about U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan aimed at ending the nearly two-year war in Gaza. Hamas plans to review the proposal, which includes disarmament and international control over Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the plan, but many Palestinians are skeptical, viewing it as favoring Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes continued Tuesday, with local hospitals reporting casualties. The conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis, with Gaza’s Health Ministry reporting over 66,000 deaths since the war began.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza stands out from previous ceasefire proposals: For the first time, it tries to outline the key question of how the territory will be ruled after the war. The proposal would effectively put the territory and its more than 2 million people under international control, deploying an international security force and installing a “Board of Peace” headed by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to oversee the administration and reconstruction. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday after talks at the White House that they agreed to the plan. Still unknown is the response of Hamas.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed five people, including three children. The attack took place on Sunday. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said four of the victims, including the children's father, held U.S. citizenship. The U.S. State Department, however, said none of the five appeared to be a U.S. citizen, but the situation was still “fluid.” Israel has been striking southern and eastern Lebanon almost daily since a ceasefire with Hezbollah was reached in November. Lebanese officials warn these strikes risk destabilizing the country and hindering efforts to disarm Hezbollah. President Joseph Aoun condemned the attack and urged international pressure on Israel to stop. Hezbollah claims the strikes justify their refusal to disarm.
