Israel has previously accepted versions of a proposal put forward by Steve Witkoff, the White House special envoy, which calls for a roughly two-month cease-fire and the release of about half the living hostages, along with the remains of some others.

The Senate on Monday morning began a "vote-a-rama" on proposed amendments to President Donald Trump's megabill for his second term priorities. It comes after a rare weekend session for senators, which included a dramatic 51-49 procedural vote on Saturday night to advance the massive tax and immigration bill and a forced reading of the 940-page bill by Democrats.

The debate within President Donald Trump 's Republican Party over a massive tax-cut and spending bill returns to the House of Representatives on Wednesday. The Senate passed the legislation by the narrowest possible margin on Tuesday. Nonpartisan analysts say it will add $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt over the next decade.

“This is not a ‘big, beautiful bill’ at all,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Tuesday after moving to strike the bill’s name. “It is really the ‘big ugly betrayal,’ and the American people know it.”
