The Gaza war is in its fifth month and international mediation is trying to agree to a long-lasting ceasefire.
Hamas proposes a three-phase truce plan of 45 days, which includes the release of hostages and Israeli military withdrawal from densely populated areas of Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Beniamin Netanyahu rejects the plan arguing that yielding to Hamas' demands would lead to another massacre.
Israel insists that any plan must include the dismantling of the terrorist structures in Gaza and Hamas' elimination.
Internationally, Hamas' plan receives support as it's believed that with adjustments, it can lead to a long-lasting truce and allow new negotiations.
Conclusion: Tensions persist in Gaza with the opposing interests and proposals of Israel and Hamas. International mediation works to reach a consensus for a long-lasting ceasefire but the challenges and resistance remain significant.
