White House says Israel "signed off" on US envoy Steve Witkoff's plan for Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.

Israeli media cited Israeli officials as saying it would see Hamas hand over 10 living hostages and bodies of 18 dead hostages in two phases in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

A senior Hamas official says the proposal does not satisfy core demands, including an end to the war.

Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza and resumed its military offensive against Hamas on 18 March following collapse of two-month ceasefire.
