Report: This Is The Ceasefire Deal Israel Presented To Hamas

The Lebanese network Al-Mayadeen, known for its ties to Hamas, has revealed what it says are the specifics of a proposal delivered by Israel to Hamas during the talks held today in Cairo. As per the alleged terms, Hamas would be required to release hostage Edan Alexander, an American citizen, on the first day as a “special gesture” to the United States.

The proposed deal outlines a 45-day ceasefire in return for Hamas freeing nine hostages who are alive and the remains of six others. A key stipulation of the deal is the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.

On the second day of the agreement, Hamas would release five living hostages. In exchange, Israel would release 66 prisoners serving life terms as well as 611 additional prisoners from Gaza. The handovers would be conducted quietly, without the public spectacles or orchestrated celebrations that accompanied the prisoner exchanges during the January truce.

The report also states that the proposal includes a mutually agreed-upon mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid—one that ensures supplies reach civilians rather than being intercepted and stored by Hamas, a frequent issue over the past year and a half.

Following the release of those five hostages, aid convoys would enter Gaza with food, shelter supplies, and other essentials. At the same time, the IDF would begin repositioning its forces away from key parts of Rafah and northern Gaza.

Negotiations over the broader future of Gaza—including its disarmament and the potential for a long-term ceasefire—would begin on the third day. On the seventh day, Hamas would be expected to free another four hostages in exchange for additional prisoners serving life terms and 500 others detained since the October 7 attacks. At that point, Israeli forces would redeploy to the eastern section of the Philadelphi Corridor.

According to the broadcast, Hamas would hand over comprehensive intelligence on the remaining living hostages by day ten, with Israel responding by sharing information on incarcerated Palestinian terrorists. On day twenty, Hamas would return the bodies of 16 deceased hostages in exchange for 160 bodies of Palestinian Arabs. This swap would occur simultaneously.

The entire negotiation process is to be finalized within the 45-day period. If a permanent ceasefire is reached, then all remaining hostages—both living and deceased—would be released. Should only a temporary ceasefire be agreed upon, it could be prolonged with mutual consent.

A Hamas representative reiterated earlier that the group would not consent to disarmament as part of any agreement and continues to insist that the war must end entirely and on its own terms.
