The White House says it's working on a ceasefire deal for Gaza, and that Israel has agreed to the proposal. Hamas is reportedly reviewing the offer, which would include a temporary truce and the release of Israeli hostages. Also this week, Israel announced an expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the biggest expansion of settlements in decades. They're considered illegal under international law.
