Hamas, an Islamist terrorist organization, has proposed a ceasefire in the Gaza war along with the release of hostages to Israel. This was announced by senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayaer on Telegram on Saturday. He stated that Hamas will examine the proposal and provide a response. The announcement comes after Israel submitted its proposal to mediators from Egypt and Qatar on April 13th.
Israel is putting pressure on Hamas in indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages. Reports suggest that if an agreement is not reached soon, Israel may continue its announced ground offensive in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli media, the latest talks were initially focused on a limited agreement where only some female, elderly, and sick hostages would be released by Hamas. The duration of a possible ceasefire would depend on the number of hostages Hamas releases, according to reports.
Hamas is demanding a permanent ceasefire while Israel rejects this proposal. The negotiations are ongoing as both parties work towards reaching a resolution. Despite this progress, tensions remain high as both sides struggle to find common ground in the midst of conflict.
