The Palestinian Hamas movement has put forward a new cease-fire proposal that involves the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in the latest sign of progress in the negotiations that have been stalled for days.
In a press statement released Thursday evening, Hamas said it submitted a comprehensive plan to mediators from Qatar, Egypt and the United States to “end the aggression against our people in Gaza, provide relief and aid to them, return the displaced to their places of residence, and withdraw the occupation forces from the Gaza Strip.”
The proposal is based on a “prisoner swap,” the statement read, adding, “The rights and concerns of our people shall remain our top priority.”
The proposal, which was seen by Reuters, includes the release of all women, including female soldiers, children, elderly and sick hostages in exchange for freeing 700 to 1,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, of whom 100 are serving life sentences.
