Hamas responds to the US plan for Gaza cotton arrest and demands the end of the war

CNN reported that Hamas reacted to a ceasefire plan proposed by President Trump on Saturday and repeated his plea again for the end of the war. In an explanation, Hamas expressed that her "suggestions" to the intermediaries - Qatar and Egypt - aimed at making a permanent ceasefire, ensuring a comprehensive retreat from the Gaza Strip and ensuring the flow of humanitarian help for the population in the Gaza Strip.

Details of the Hamas Declaration

The explanation said: "In the context of this agreement, ten living Israeli prisoners who are kept by the resistance movement will be released, in addition to the return of eighteen corpses, in exchange for an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners." These plans follow that a high-ranking Hamas representative CNN had previously announced that the group had sent a three-part counter offered to the United States. This demands assurances that negotiations on permanent ceasefire will continue and that there will be no struggle after the break. In addition, humanitarian aid is to be handled through the United Nations, and the IDF should withdraw to the positions that it held on March 2nd.

How Israel reacted to the proposal

An Israeli civil servant announced on Saturday that one sees the most recent response from the militants as an effective rejection of the latest Witkoff proposal and as a presentation of a new offer with its own conditions. This offer includes that Hamas ten Israeli hostages and eighteen dead hostages in exchange for 125 Palestinian prisoners who have a lifelong prison sentence, as well as for 1,111 Gazaner who have been arrested since the beginning of the war.

about the US proposal

The proposal, which is viewed by the USA on Friday and approved by the USA and approved by Israel, stipulates that negotiations on a permanent ceasefire begin on the first day of the 60-day ceasefire. The conditions of the agreement would also make it possible for humanitarian aid to be “immediately” in the Gaza Strip and “via agreed channels”, including the United Nations and the Red Cross, are distributed. However, the draft does not contain an intrinsic guarantee for a permanent end of the war, which is a decisive demand for Hamas, nor is there any assurances that the ceasefire is extended as long as the negotiations are continued.

Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip

The negotiations between Israel and Hamas take place against the background of a stricter famine in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli 11-week blockade Humanitarian help has the population of the population Enclaves brought near hunger death.
