Israel is studying Hamas' response to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and release of half the hostages still held in Gaza, two Israeli officials said, although one source reiterated that all Israeli captives must be freed for the war to end.

Six months after Eliya Cohen got out of Gaza, he says he cannot begin to recover. Not while other hostages are still held there.

Protesters in Israel escalated their ongoing campaign on Sunday to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.
