The Palestinian radical Islamic group Hamas received a draft proposal from the Gaza Strip truce talks in Paris, which includes a 40-day pause in all military operations and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages in a 10-to-one ratio. , a source close to the negotiations told Reuters this Tuesday (27).
Under the proposed ceasefire, hospitals and bakeries in Gaza would be repaired, 500 aid trucks would enter the strip every day and thousands of tents and caravans would be delivered to house the displaced, the source said.
The project also states, according to the source, that Hamas would release 40 Israeli hostages, including women, people under 19, elderly people over 50 and the sick, while Israel would release around 400 Palestinian prisoners and not rearrest them.
The truce talks in Gaza appear to be the most serious effort in weeks to end fighting in the devastated Palestinian enclave and secure the release of Israeli and foreign hostages.
Mediators have stepped up efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, hoping to prevent an Israeli attack on the Egyptian border city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, where more than a million displaced people are sheltering in the far south.
US President Joe Biden said Israel has agreed not to engage in military activities during Ramadan in the Gaza Strip, which is expected to begin on the evening of March 10, 2024, and end on the evening of April 9, 2024.
Biden, whose remarks were recorded on Monday and broadcast on NBC's “Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday,” said Israel was committed to making it possible to evacuate Palestinians from Rafah in southern Gaza before intensifying its campaign to destroy Hamas.
After Hamas killed 1,200 people and captured 253 hostages on October 7, Israel launched a ground attack on Gaza, with nearly 30,000 people confirmed dead, according to Palestinian health officials.
