Gaza war: Hamas official receives new proposal for 3-stage truce • FRANCE 24 English
There are some far-right leaders like the national security minister Ben G who is threatening essentially to bring down the Israeli government if he believes that deal to release hostages and a temporary ceasefire is too lenient on Hamas or uh demands the release of quote unquote thousands of jailed Palestinians
Or requires Israel to end the war um but having said that uh Netanyahu is very unlikely to agree to a deal that will end this war in the immediate future um it appears that the mediators United States uh cter Egypt it appears they are trying to get both sides to agree here
To phase one of a phased deal a three three-prong deal uh and it seems that they’re trying to get both sides to agree to that before we really before they’ve agreed to the details of phase two and three three so in the first phase we would see uh and these are
Things that both sides have generally agreed to we would see uh the women civilian women the elderly and the injured hostages be released by Hamas uh in exchange for it looks like about a six week ceasefire uh as well as Israel releasing prisoners Palestinian prisoners with blood on their hands that
Is Palestinians convicted of deadly attack against Israelis but also at a 3:1 rate so perhaps about 125 to 145 uh depending on how many uh Israeli hostages are released uh and that would still fall within the range of netanyahu’s uh most recent comments uh last night
Today that he will not agree to release quote unquote thousands of prisoners and that Israel will not leave the Gaza Strip that phase one will require Israel to redeploy some of its troops and move to certain lines uh within the Gaza Strip which we saw during the first
Hostage deal release but certainly will not require Israel to leave the Gaza Strip uh the real gaps still remain on the larger picture here for Gaza both when this war will end Hamas wants it to end as soon as possible Israel does not and who will govern the Gaza Strip
Hamas said on Tuesday it had received and was studying a new proposal for a ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza, presented by mediators after talks with Israel, in what appeared to be the most serious peace initiative for months. A senior Hamas official said the proposal involved a three-stage truce, during which the group would first release remaining civilians among hostages it captured on Oct. 7, then soldiers, and finally the bodies of hostages that were killed.

So Israel's begging for a ceasefire?
As the war ends so will be the political career of nethanyahoo
No ceasefire simples
Hamas is suffering
Why are there Palestinian children in Israeli jails in the first place? what sort of country is this?
Will not work
My two cents worth of crystal ball gazing – Hamas will not accept any hostage deal. Im willing to bet the female hostages have been raped and all of them have been tortured – with many (if not all) now dead. It's a terrible thing to say, but I don't think Hamas will take the propaganda knock. And they know that if those hostages have been killed the Israelis will go berserk.
Western lie
This Jordana Miller of ABC injecting "Hamas want the war to end as soon as possible, Israel does not" is a great example of how not to be a news reporter.
Israel didn't want this War. Exchanging hostages (innocent civilians) for criminals with blood on their hands makes no sense.
Netanyahu says he is not going to end the war , & Hamas said , " No deal without permanent ceasefire . so why Egypt & Qatar wasting time trying to " broker " a deal ? 24 hour ceasefire & 2 month ceasefire & other ridiculous proposals .
Release all detainees
It is clear as day light that Isreal is not prepared to ceasefire permanently. Therefore no peace in this region.
This deal was written by Egypt, America and Qatar , Israel and Hamas are just being told "sign here"
Three for one is a great deal for Israel: the average palentinian isn't worth nearly that when compared to the average Israeli. And it's not genetics, but rather is purely cultural. But they do make for great tunnel rats (the use for which is being reduced rapidly).
Israel will never leave Gaza again. It will be repopulated with Israelis just like West Bank. The Arabs were offered 2-state 6 times and rejected it… and just kept terrorizing Israel. The globe needs to start using the brains God gave them. Hamas destroyed Palestine on Oct 7!
Taking a cold, hard look at this through the eyes of Hamas, I would go for all the spoils with the next deal. The Isreali government and the IDF haven't achieved any of their goals in Gaza and don't seem to know how to achieve their goals in Gaza. Hamas' only real concern is the opinion of the Gazan's themselves and how far they think they can push them.
The choice of French proposal was excellent. They know how to surrender.
