First—Hamas accepts an updated 60-day ceasefire proposal that would see the release of 10 living Israeli hostages. Israel is reportedly closely studying the terror group’s response, but will it be enough to forestall Israel’s planned offensive to occupy Gaza City?

Later in the show—North Korea’s Kim Jong Un calls for a rapid buildup of the country’s nuclear arsenal to counter what he calls provocations by the U.S. and South Korea.
