Report: This Is What Steve Witkoff’s Latest Ceasefire Proposal Looks Like

A new draft proposal crafted by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff outlines a two-stage deal in which Hamas would return ten live hostages and eighteen bodies within a one-week window. Al Arabiya reports that the framework calls for a 60-day pause in fighting, during which President Donald Trump would personally guarantee that Israel upholds the terms of the ceasefire.

According to the details of the initiative, the truce would begin with the release of five hostages and nine sets of remains on its first day, with the remaining individuals and bodies transferred on day seven. Humanitarian assistance to Gaza would be launched immediately following Hamas’s acceptance of the agreement, channeled through coordinated efforts with the United Nations and the Red Crescent.

Throughout the duration of the ceasefire, Israel would suspend its military activities, including airstrikes and drone surveillance, for 10 hours each day. On the two designated days when hostages are returned, the suspension period would extend to 12 hours. After each release phase, Israeli forces would adjust their positions within Gaza in accordance with the agreement.

The proposal also stipulates that negotiations—led by Arab intermediaries—would kick off on the first day of the truce. These talks would focus on laying the groundwork for a lasting peace agreement. Topics on the table include the liberation of additional hostages still in captivity, the phased withdrawal and redeployment of Israeli troops, future security arrangements for Gaza, and broader strategies for the region’s post-conflict governance and reconstruction.
