-Israel has accepted the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza for the Ramadan and Passover holidays, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement early Sunday.The Muslim holy month of Ramadan began on Friday and will last until March 30.

Scenes of devastation because of conflict in Gaza.

Previously, Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement for 42 days starting from January 19, during which Hamas released 33 hostages, and Israel freed more than 1,700 Palestinian prisoners. However, the two sides still disagree on the next terms. Israel wants to extend the first phase of the agreement for another 42 days, while Hamas firmly rejects this and demands moving on to phase 2 of the agreement. Currently, negotiations in Egypt are ongoing but have yet to yield any specific results.

In related developments,Switzerland said it will host an international conference next Fridayon the protection of Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories, as called for in a UN vote.The 196 signatories to the Geneva Convention will be invited to the meeting, which will be attended by ambassadors, a spokesperson for the Swiss foreign ministry said.

On Sept. 18, the UN General Assembly mandated Switzerland to organize the conference, given that the Alpine country is the depository of the international treaties setting out the rules of war and humanitarian law.

Such “conferences of high contracting parties” cannot take binding decisions but can “reaffirm the rules of international humanitarian law and the obligations,” the Swiss government says on its website.
