Israel Proposes 40-Day Ceasefire Deal with Hamas
Israel’s proposal for a hostage deal with Hamas includes a 40-day ceasefire and the release of potentially thousands of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Israeli hostages, according to British Foreign Secretary David Cameron. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed hope that Hamas will accept Israel’s latest proposal for a Gaza truce and hostage release deal, calling the offer “extraordinarily generous.” The proposal involves new wording on restoring calm meant to satisfy Hamas’s demand for a permanent ceasefire.
Yesterday, I held a call with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi of Egypt and a call with Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar to discuss reaching a deal to secure the release of hostages together with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
