The Associated Press obtained a copy of the proposed agreement, and an Egyptian official and a Hamas official confirmed its authenticity. An Israeli official said progress has been made, but the details are being finalized. All three officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the talks.
Here is the draft proposed.
Draft of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal
PHASE 1: (42 Days)
- Hamas releases 33 hostages, including female civilians and soldiers, children and civilians over 50
- Israel releases 30 Palestinian prisoners for each civilian hostage and 50 for each female soldier
- Halt to fighting, Israeli forces move out of populated areas to the edges of the Gaza Strip
- Displaced Palestinians begin returning home, more aid enters the strip
PHASE 2: (42 Days)
- Declaration of “sustainable calm”
- Hamas frees remaining male hostages (soldiers and civilians) in exchange for a yet-to-be-negotiated number of Palestinian prisoners and a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
PHASE 3:
- Bodies of deceased Israeli hostages exchanged for bodies of deceased Palestinian fighters
- Implementation of a reconstruction plan in Gaza
- Border crossings for movement in and out of Gaza are reopened
When we say border crossings are to be “reopened” is this just a return to Israeli control of the Gazan border? Will the naval blockade remain in place? The whole draft is rather light on details.
That sounds too sensible for me to believe
Reconstruction is going to be a lot, but will Israel return Gazan land, or do they still want to build a “buffer zone”
They didn’t commit genocide to give it back or pay to repair it.
There will be no peace until the genociders are brought to justice. And that includes germans and american leaders.
100%.
It’s like saying the Jews would get justice by leaving Hitler in power as long as he paid them for damages.
Israel as a state need to be dismantled and the land given to the local peoples not the colonizers.
“Israel” is just the rich jews who paid the nazis to let them go and kill the poor jews instead.
