• Hamas announced acceptance of a ceasefire with Israel, but the deal quickly fell apart as Israeli forces continued operations in Gaza.
• Harris, asked about the ceasefire while leaving a restaurant, responded with 'shrimp and grits,' sparking widespread criticism and mockery on social media.
• Israeli officials rejected the ceasefire terms proposed by Hamas, citing significant discrepancies from previously agreed conditions.
• The incident has fueled accusations of incompetence within the U.S. administration, with critics questioning Harris's suitability for high office.
• Despite the controversy, ongoing diplomatic efforts include a potential Israeli delegation to Cairo to discuss terms acceptable to both parties.
