A senior Palestinian employee familiar with the negotiations to end the Israel-Hama fire has told the BBC that the Cathars and the Egyptian mediators have offered a new formula for terminating the Gaza war.
According to the employee, he envisages a truce of between five and seven years, the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons, the official end of the war and the complete withdrawal of Israel from Gaza.
Hamas’s senior delegation was supposed to arrive in Cairo for consultation.
The last termination of the fire collapsed a month ago when Israel resumed the bombing of the gas, with both sides accusing each other that it was unable to continue.
Israel did not comment on the plan of the intermediaries.
Hamas will be presented at discussions in Cairo by his political council leader Mohammed Darvish and his leading negotiating Khalil Al-Haya.
There are days after the movement rejected Israel’s last proposal, which included a request to disarm Hamas in exchange for a six -week truce.
On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not end the war before Hamas was destroyed and all the hostages returned. Hamas asked Israel to commit to end the war before the hostages were released.
The Palestinian employee, familiar with the conversations, told the BBC that Hamas had signaled her willingness to convey the management of the gas to any Palestinian entity agreed “at national and regional level”. The employee said this could be the Palestinian administration based on the west coast (PA) or a newly formed administrative body.
Netanyahu excluded every role of the BCP in the future Gaza management, which has been run by Hamas since 2007.
Although it is still too early to evaluate the likelihood of success, the source has identified current mediation efforts as serious and said Hamas has shown “unprecedented flexibility.”
Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and took 251 back to gas as hostages. Israel has launched a large -scale military offensive in response, which died 51 240 Palestinians – mainly civilians – according to the Health Ministry of Gaza.
Else places, the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo has instructed its employees – who coordinated the medical evacuations from Gaza to Egyptian hospitals and facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid – to move with its families to the Egyptian city of Arish, near the gaza border.
