Hamas calls it ‘comprehensive vision’ but Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says it is based on ‘unrealistic demands’
Hamas has presented a Gaza ceasefire proposal to mediators and the US which includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for freedom for Palestinian prisoners, 100 of whom are serving life sentences, according to a proposal seen by news agency Reuters.
Hamas said the initial release of Israelis would include women, children, elderly, and ill hostages in exchange for the release of 700-1,000 Palestinian prisoners, according to the proposal. The release of Israeli “female recruits” is included.
