However, Israel rejected the proposal hours later, sending negotiators for new talks.

By Tuesday, Israeli tanks had entered Rafah, dashing hopes for an immediate ceasefire, and Palestinians began preparing to evacuate.

Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians protested following the collapse of a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

Palestinians have been demanding a ceasefire for months to end the violence that has resulted in over 34,000 deaths and the displacement of hundreds of thousands since the war began on October 7.

The Hamas-run Health Ministry reports that Israeli fire and airstrikes have killed around 1,200 people in Israel and taken around 250 hostages, with an estimated 100 still being held by Hamas.

The UN warns of a "full-blown famine" developing in the north of the enclave.

Hamas refuses to release the hostages unless Israel ends the war and withdraws from Gaza.

Palestinians celebrated the news of a ceasefire proposal between Hamas and Israel, but their excitement was short-lived when Israeli tanks entered Rafah and took control of a border crossing, forcing Palestinians to flee.

Najwa Al-Siksik, a Palestinian resident, expressed her disappointment and loss of hope in a peaceful resolution, as the drones overhead continued to buzz throughout the night.

The text describes the reactions of Palestinians and Israelis to the latest ceasefire announcement between Israel and Hamas.

Palestinians, like Raef Abou Labde, are skeptical of the Israeli government's sincerity in wanting a ceasefire and fear displacement and destruction.

In Israel, there are no celebrations, as many have lost faith in the ceasefire process due to past failed negotiations.

Protests broke out in various cities in Israel as families of hostages held by Hamas expressed frustration over the lack of progress in negotiations for their release.

Michael Levy, whose brother Or Levy is still captive, expressed skepticism about any potential deal until hostages begin returning home.

Demonstrations blocked major highways and resulted in fires being set.

In a parliament hearing, families criticized the government's inaction and questioned the effectiveness of military pressure on Hamas.

Some saw the ongoing negotiations as a sign that a deal was imminent.

A daughter of an Israeli hostage held by Hamas, Sharone Lifshitz, expressed her belief that the gap between Hamas' accepted proposal and Israel's core demands was not significant.

She added that Hamas are skilled negotiators and it would be challenging for Israel to reject the deal outright.

Some individuals speculated that Israel's move into Rafah was a tactic to pressure Hamas into a mutually acceptable agreement.

According to them, Israel's action demonstrated its commitment to its demands, making it harder for Hamas to alter the terms of the deal.
