Hamas is preparing to present a new ceasefire initiative for Gaza, according to a report by the Saudi-owned outlet Asharq Al-Awsat, as its delegation arrives in Cairo for renewed discussions.
The report outlines a proposed deal under which all remaining hostages in Gaza would be released at once in return for a negotiated number of Palestinian prisoners. Additionally, the plan reportedly includes a complete halt to military actions, the withdrawal of Israeli forces to positions previously held under the last ceasefire, and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid.
The report indicates that Hamas intends to push for a five-year cessation of hostilities, backed by international assurances.
Another key element of the proposal is the formation of a technocratic governing body to oversee civilian affairs in Gaza. This concept is said to draw on an Egyptian plan circulated in recent months. Hamas is also reportedly open to the idea of advancing reconciliation with the Fatah movement.
These developments align with other recent reports. Earlier this week, sources familiar with the talks told the Times of Israel that Hamas had conveyed to Arab intermediaries its readiness to accept a long-term truce with Israel. During this period, Hamas would agree to halt all military operations, including weapons production and tunnel excavation.
Don’t negotiate with terrorists. Bomb the >>>>>>>>> out of them. Kill every last one of them. Erase their memory.
