Israel Says Hamas Truce Proposal Short Of Essential Demands

ISRAEL – Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Tuesday rejected Hamas’ latest truce offer, citing insufficient concessions and emphasizing the need for continued military pressure to secure the release of hostages in Gaza.

Israeli forces took control of the Rafah Border crossing, aiming to weaken Hamas’ military capabilities.

Hamas accused Israel of sabotaging ceasefire efforts in the ongoing conflict that has devastated Gaza, leaving many homeless and hungry.

Israeli army footage showed tanks advancing at the Rafah crossing, signaling a significant strategic move.
