Israel has rejected Egypt's proposal for a two-day ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip. Although this initiative was supported by many ministers in the government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed it. He demands that the negotiations continue along with the attacks on Gaza.

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza for the first time since October 7. While this decision only calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, it can lead to a lasting and sustainable peace.
