The latest proposal conveyed by the mediators did not originate with the Americans, although it was relayed through them. Israel Hayom has learned that the US intends to present its own proposal later this week, and in the meantime, American officials are delaying the key IDF maneuver in Gaza.

A senior Palestinian official has revealed that Israel and Hamas are examining a proposal presented by US mediator Dr. Bishara Bahbah, which includes a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 hostages in two phases. Hamas, however, is demanding a 70-day ceasefire and the release of five living and five dead hostages.

The ceasefire would be declared only as part of a deal to secure the release of Israeli hostages, according to the report. The announcement comes after Trump stated that “good news” could soon emerge regarding Iran on the nuclear talks.
