SUMMARY: Hamas has given initial approval to a U.S.-backed phased cease-fire proposal in Gaza, dropping its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war. This compromise could lead to the first pause in fighting since November and pave the way for further negotiations. Nonetheless, a final deal is still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Gaza Ministry reports that an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and injured 50 others. The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)
