Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported Friday evening that the United States is applying pressure on the Israeli government to commence a two-week ceasefire in Gaza as a preliminary step toward implementing an undisclosed plan. The proposal marks a fresh diplomatic effort to halt fighting in the enclave, though specific details of the broader arrangement remain unclear from the report.
The Israeli security cabinet has rejected the ceasefire proposal, according to Shehab Wire. American officials have not publicly confirmed the pressure campaign or detailed their proposal. The Israeli government has not issued an official statement addressing the reported American initiative or explaining the cabinet's grounds for the rejection.
