Hamas Received The Draft Proposal Of Paris Talks
Hamas has received a draft proposal from Gaza truce talks in Paris for a pause in military operations and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages.
Based on this draft, all military operations will be stopped for 40 days and for every Zionist prisoner in Gaza, 10 Palestinian prisoners will be exchanged. Hospitals and bakeries are being repaired in Gaza.
According to Reuters, the proposed plans include:
- Both parties stop their military operations completely.
- Aerial reconnaissance operations over Gaza will stop for eight hours a day.
- All Israeli hostages, including women, children under 19 years of age, the elderly aged 50 years and above, and the sick, must be released in exchange for a specific number of Palestinian prisoners according to the numbers listed below.
- In exchange for the 40 hostages listed under the humanitarian category, approximately 400 Palestinian prisoners will be released, according to the ratio of 10 prisoners to one hostage.
- Gradual return of all displaced civilians – except men of military service age – to the northern Gaza Strip.
- After commencing the first phase, Israel will reposition its forces away from densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip.
- Commitment to bring in 500 trucks per day of humanitarian aid.
- Commitment to providing 200,000 tents and 60,000 caravans.
- Allowing the rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries in Gaza, including immediately allowing the entry of necessary equipment and providing shipments of fuel for these purposes, according to quantities to be agreed upon.
- Israel agrees to the entry of heavy machinery and equipment to remove rubble and assist with other humanitarian purposes, with the provision of fuel shipments necessary for these purposes, according to quantities to be agreed upon, provided that they increase over time. Hamas pledges not to use these machines and equipment to threaten Israel.
- It is understood that the arrangements agreed in the first phase will not apply to the second phase, which will be subject to subsequent separate negotiations.
In this regard, the American media Axios announced that the Hamas movement is discouraged from the new proposals to reach a ceasefire agreement and the exchange of prisoners in the current battle, and there are still wide differences between them and the Zionist regime. There is no room for optimism and at the current stage, it is difficult to imagine an agreement between Israel and Hamas before Ramadan.
It is worth mentioning that during the last four months, high-level talks were held between the American, Qatari and Israeli delegations to stop the war, but these meetings did not have any specific results; And so far, efforts to establish a ceasefire and exchange prisoners between Hamas and the Israeli regime have been unsuccessful.
