Hamas said it is seeking an end to the war and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid as it is expected to announce a decision on a new U.S. ceasefire proposal to which U.S. President Donald Trump said Israel had agreed.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that a decision from Hamas on a "final proposal" for a Gaza ceasefire is expected within 24 hours. He expressed hope for progress in ending the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

At least 15 Palestinians were killed overnight in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, according to local health officials.
