Mediators await Israeli response to new Gaza ceasefire proposal

After saying that Hamas has accepted a new offer for a Gaza cease -fire and hostage release agreement, an official response is waiting for an official response.

The plan was presented by Qatar and Egypt, trying to prevent a major Israeli attack to occupy Gaza completely.

Qatar said that about half of the 50 hostages held in Gaza, which is believed to be “almost the same” for a US proposal for a 60 -day ceasefire, will be delivered in Gaza, and that the two sides will negotiate the return of a permanent ceasefire and the rest.

In recent days, the Israeli government said that it will no longer accept a partial agreement – a comprehensive agreement that will only see that all hostages have been released.

Local media, a senior Israeli official said: “Israel’s position has not changed – the release of all hostages and the fulfillment of other conditions defined to end the war.”

Later this week, the Israeli cabinet is expected to approve the plan to occupy the Gaza City, where the intensified Israeli strikes caused thousands of people to escape.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s 2.1 million Palestinian inhabitants, including the intention of conquering the entire Gaza, including the intention of conquering – Hamas exploded last month after indirect talks on the cease -fire agreement.

On Monday night, a Hamas statement announced that the armed group and other Palestinian groups approved the cease -fire offer presented to their delegations in Cairo the previous day.

Hamas official Taher Al-Nunu said that they did not want any changes in the proposal he described as a “partial agreement leading to a comprehensive agreement” to Al-Araby TV.

He also stressed that on the first day of his practice, negotiations will begin to accept a permanent ceasefire.

“We hope that the 60 -day ceasefire will be enough to make a final agreement that will completely end this war.” He said.

Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Asari, Tuesday, told journalists in Doha, said the proposal was “98%” similar to the presented by the US Middle East ambassador Steve Witkoff.

Ansari, “I will not go into the details of the language on the table right now. But what I can say is that it is very close, almost the same as those on the table.” He said.

“Within the boundaries of the Witkoff plan … A continuation of this process. Frankly, in the details where the devil lies.”

Witkoff proposed a 60 -day ceasefire to see that Hamas has published 10 live hostages and 18 dead hostages in two stages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and prisoners held in Israeli prisons. He also said that negotiations about a final agreement to end the war will begin on the first day of the agreement.

Israel accepted Witkoff’s plan, but Hamas rejected it because it did not contain a guarantee that the temporary ceasefire would lead to permanently.

Israeli media reported that Israeli officials have examined the new proposal and the reaction of Hamas.

According to public publisher Kan, Netanyahu did not ignore the possibility of a partial agreement, despite his latest statements that he would accept a comprehensive agreement.

On Saturday night, his office made a statement that Israel would accept an agreement in accordance with our conditions for terminating the war, provided that all hostages are launched at a time, “.

Among these circumstances, Hamas included the disarmament of Gaza, the demilitarization of Gaza, the Israeli control of the Gaza circle, and the installation of a non -Hamas and non -Palestinian authority governance.

Netanyahu said in a video on Monday that he had discussed his senior Israeli military commanders “plans for the completion of the Gaza city and our duties”.

“Like you, I hear the reports in the media and you can get an impression of them – Hamas is under tremendous pressure.”

US President Donald Trump, in the meantime, wrote on social media: “Only when Hamas is faced and destroyed, we will see the return of the remaining hostages !!! The sooner this happens, the better the chance of success.”

However, the families of the hostages are afraid that the new attack in Gaza City may endanger what was held there.

On Sunday night, hundreds of thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv to ask their governments to end the war with Hamas and accept an agreement to bring all the hostages home. Netanyahu accused his demonstrators of hardening Hamas’s negotiation position.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the attack on Hamas on 7 October 2023 against Southern Israel, and about 1,200 people were killed and 251 people were hostage.

According to the Ministry of Health operated by Hamas of the region, at least 62,004 people have been killed in Gaza since then.

Most of the Gaza population has been displaced many times; It is estimated that more than 90% of the houses are damaged or destroyed; Health services, water, sanitation and hygiene systems collapsed; And UN -backed global food security experts warned that “the worst scarcity scenario is currently playing” due to food scarcity.
