An informed Palestinian source revealed on Friday that the Hamas movement’s proposal presented to Qatari and Egyptian mediators for a truce in Gaza consists of three stages: an exchange of prisoners, the return of displaced individuals to northern Gaza and the declaration of a permanent ceasefire in the second stage. Meanwhile, a statement issued by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government remarked that the Hamas movement is still clinging to “delusional” demands, announcing that it would be sending a delegation to the Qatari capital, Doha, to participate in the rounds of indirect ceasefire negotiations sponsored by mediators.
In a statement to Anadolu Agency, preferring to remain anonymous, the source confirmed: “The truce proposal presented by Hamas to the (Qatari and Egyptian) mediators includes three stages, each stage lasting six weeks.”
“The first phase of the movement’s proposal includes the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from city centres and from Al-Rashid and Salah Al-Din Streets, the return of displaced individuals in the south back to the north and the entry of aid. The first phase of the proposal includes the release of women, children and elderly Israeli captives in Gaza in exchange for the release of more than 700 Palestinian prisoners in Israel,” relayed the source.
