Hamas reaffirms commitment to ceasefire proposal
Hamas says it remains committed to the mediators’ proposal for a ceasefire announced on August 18, which it had agreed to alongside other Palestinian factions.
In a statement, the group said it was open to “any ideas or proposals” that would achieve a permanent ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
It added that it was also prepared to consider proposals ensuring unconditional entry of humanitarian aid and a “genuine” prisoner exchange through serious negotiations mediated by third parties.
Protesters again fill the streets of Jerusalem
Protesters and family members of the captives held in Gaza are again protesting in Jerusalem. They’re demanding Netanyahu reach a deal to secure their loved ones’ release.
Many of the families accused Netanyahu of sabotaging a potential agreement with Hamas and putting the captives’ lives at risk. Weekly protests since the war began have become a near-daily occurrence recently.

Israelis protest against government while supporting its Gaza war actions
People in Israel support the government’s actions in Gaza or see them as inevitable, even when they oppose the government, Israeli political analyst Ori Goldberg says.
“That is the Israeli paradox. At the moment, people who are protesting … are the same people who will show up for reserve duty when they are called to actually march into Gaza,” Goldberg told Al Jazeera.
“These people will describe themselves as opponents of the government, will say that the government has mismanaged the war in Gaza, will say that the government is responsible for the fact that the hostages are still in Gaza. They will say nothing about the fact that it is Israeli actions that have killed dozens and dozens of hostages still remaining in Gaza. They will say nothing about the genocide. They will say nothing about the plight of the Palestinians,” Goldberg said.
“And by not saying anything, they are actually affirming the political survival of the very government which they claim to oppose so vainly,” he added.
