UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, speaking from Riyadh at the conclusion of the World Economy Forum, announced a "generous offer" for a 40-day ceasefire in Gaza.
This proposal includes the release of hostages in exchange for the freedom of thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
Cameron expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the current proposal before them. He also voiced concerns about the feasibility of a political resolution if the Hamas leadership and those responsible for the October 7 attacks do not vacate Gaza.
An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
