26.05.2025Day Al-Jarjawi School Burned As Hamas Accepted Ceasefire Proposal
The morning began with reports of a massacre at Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School in eastern Gaza, where displaced people were killed while sleeping. Initial reports counted 25 martyrs, rising to 36 by midday. The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory claimed Israel "burned children alive" in the attack.

By early afternoon, a significant diplomatic development emerged when multiple sources reported Hamas had agreed to the "Witkoff proposal" for a permanent ceasefire. Netanyahu expressed hope for announcing a prisoner exchange deal "today or tomorrow," though reports noted Israel and Hamas agreed to different versions of the proposal, creating confusion.

Throughout the day, thousands of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in what Arabi21 called "the worst day in Al-Aqsa's history since its occupation." Ben-Gvir participated in the "Jerusalem and Gaza are in our hands" flag march.

The death toll in Gaza reached 53,977, while Israel reportedly mobilized hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers.
