Status of the Gaza ceasefire talks: Israel, via Arab mediators, is pushing for a short term deal with only loose language about it leading to a potential end of the war. Hamas is offering a proposal for a comprehensive, multi-year truce & detailed responses to Israel's positions.

"The IDF confirmed" [fill in the blank with whatever accusation Israel makes about Palestinians] is not a legitimate source, nor a real confirmation of anything. In fact, there is a high probability it is an entirely false piece of propaganda, as has been proven time and again.
