Israel war: Hamas proposes a four-month Gaza truce plan, says report
Israeli strikes on Gaza killed 200 in 24 hours, says Hamas
Palestinian militant group Hamas has put forth a four-month (135 days) ceasefire plan aimed at ending the ongoing war between its fighters and Israel, reported Reuters. The plan reportedly proposes freeing of all hostages, withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. Qatar and Egypt, who have been mediating between the warring sides had sent an offer last week. The response from Hamas is a counterproposal. There is a considerable diplomatic push from different parts of the world, including from the United States for an extended halt and even end to the ongoing war.
Israel did not immediately respond publicly to the fresh proposal and it has been maintaining that it will not be withdrawing its troops till Hamas is wiped out.
What is in Hamas' ceasefire proposal?
As reported by Reuters, Hamas has proposed a truce in three phases. Each phase would last for 45 days. the group has reportedly agreed to free remaining Israeli hostages but in exchange for Palestinian prisoners currently in Israel's custody.
