Israel Proposes Gaza Ceasefire Deal to Release 10 Hostages for Hundreds of Palestinians, Hamas Says

Israel Proposes Gaza Ceasefire Deal to Release 10 Hostages for Hundreds of Palestinians, Hamas Says In a significant development in the ongoing Gaza conflict, Hamas has claimed that Israel has proposed a ceasefire agreement that includes the release of 10 Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. The international pressure to end the months-long war that has displaced a significant portion of the population of Gaza and killed thousands of people is growing, and the potential deal comes amid this. According to senior Hamas officials, the proposal outlines a temporary cessation of hostilities during which the exchange would take place. The deal reportedly includes provisions for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza and limited returns of displaced Palestinians to their homes in the north of the enclave, in addition to the hostage-for-prisoner swap. Hamas stated that the offer was under review, but emphasized that any agreement must include a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Israel, however, has maintained that it will not end the war until Hamas is dismantled and all hostages are freed.
