Two-month ceasefire for the release of hostages. This is the offer Israel will make to Hamas through the mediation of Qatar and Egypt. In fact, this is the longest ceasefire period Israel has offered since the beginning of the war.
But it looks like hope has already been dashed. According to a senior Egyptian official Associated pressIn fact, Hamas would announce this and reject the offer. He said no more hostages would be released until Israel stopped bombing and withdrew from Gaza. The Israeli government refused to comment. In fact, Hamas’s reactions in the past hours were not very promising regarding the conclusion of the agreement. Velid Kilani, Hamas’ spokesman in Lebanon, told the Turkish press agency: Anatolia He said he had “not officially received” any ceasefire proposal. According to Hamas, “the basic condition of the agreement is not a temporary one, but a full and complete ceasefire.” Kilani added that talks regarding the hostages will only be held if this condition is met.
Three stages of Israel’s proposed ceasefire
The proposed agreement would include the release of all living hostages and the gradual return of the bodies of dead hostages. First, women, men over 60, and hostages with critical medical conditions. Then female soldiers, non-military men under 60, then soldiers, and finally the bodies of the hostages. Israel and Hamas will then agree on how many Palestinian prisoners should be released for each Israeli hostage, depending on the category, followed by separate negotiations on the names of the prisoners. Israel will also redeploy its defense forces, relocating some from the region’s main population centers and allowing Palestinian civilians to gradually return to Gaza city and the northern Strip.
Only one fact was effective in Israel’s move: The protest of the hostage families grew stronger day by day and reached the parliament. The public wants the government of Benjamin Netanyahu to do more to bring the kidnapped people back to their homes.” A group of relatives, whom the clerks could not stop, entered the session of the Knesset Finance Committee and interrupted its work. “You will be there. Listen, there is no more commission, no more Knesset, you have only one issue to deal with. “You will not sit here while they die there,” shouting protesters addressed the MPs.
