Zac Weisz

It’s been two weeks since Israel launched its latest offensive in Gaza, one that is set to expand further. Attacks on the enclave in this period have regularlykilled dozens, per Hamas-run health ministries, with reports over the weekend of deaths at an aid site. Some of Israel’salliesare even turning on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The offensive does appear to have weakened Hamas – the Israeli military said it killedMuhammad Sinwar, the militant group’s Gaza leader, during airstrikes in May. US special envoy Steve Witkoff wants to seize on this opening, and has sent a ceasefire offer to Hamas – one that includes an exchange of hostages for prisoners. This Graphic Truth lays out the key terms of the deal. Hamas has countered: it said it’s willing to release the hostages, but wants a permanent ceasefire.
