Hamas delivered its response Monday to the latest ceasefire and hostage-release proposal coordinated by Egypt and Qatar. Regional outlets reported that the group had accepted the proposal, which includes a 1,000-meter withdrawal in northern and eastern Gaza excluding Shuja’iya and Beit Lahiya, the exchange of ten living hostages for 200 Palestinian prisoners, and immediate humanitarian aid including fuel, water, electricity, hospital and bakery rehabilitation, and debris removal equipment.
The deal reportedly involves the possible exile of senior Hamas leaders abroad, including Izz al-Din al-Haddad, establishing a committee to manage Gaza, and Israeli supervision of weapons storage and management.
