Hamas Accepts Proposal: An American Hostage and 4 Bodies to be Delivered

1 Mins Read

Hamas has responded to a new proposal conveyed by mediators regarding the ceasefire. The Palestinian group announced that they have agreed to hand over an American hostage along with four lifeless bodies.

Hamas stated that it has received a proposal from mediators to resume Gaza ceasefire negotiations and has accepted this offer. They also mentioned that they will release the Israeli-American citizen Edan Alexander, whom they are holding hostage, and deliver the bodies of four hostages.

WHAT WAS THE NEW US PROPOSAL? The US Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, had presented a new proposal to Hamas in which an extension of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip would be contingent upon the delivery of 5 hostages and 10 lifeless bodies of hostages. Witkoff was said to have delivered this proposal to mediators and the Israeli delegation in the capital of Qatar, Doha. According to the US proposal, Israel and Hamas would use the extended period to negotiate a long-term ceasefire in Gaza. If a long-term ceasefire agreement is reached, all remaining hostages will be released on the final day of the extended ceasefire.
