# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says it is reviewing a revised response from Hamas to a proposed ceasefire and hostage-release deal. This comes as Israeli air and ground strikes continued to pound the Gaza Strip. Hamas confirmed it had handed over a new proposal, but did not disclose its contents. Reuters reports a previous version was rejected by mediators as insufficient and was not even passed to Israel. Both sides are facing huge pressure to reach a deal, with the humanitarian conditions inside Gaza deteriorating sharply.
