Hamas accepted the framework of a new 60-day cease-fire and hostage-release proposal that, if concluded, would trigger U.S.-backed talks with Israel aimed at a permanent end to the war, Arab officials involved in the talks said.

Since May, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while trying to get food and medicine near Gaza aid sites run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to local officials. A video filmed last month by an American contractor appears to show Americans celebrating after someone gets shot.
