Hamas Encountered Trump's Proposal: 60-Day Ceasefire in Gaza, Prisoner Exchange Negotiation
Israel is reportedly considering a ceasefire and hostage swap proposal put forward by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The proposal, titled "The Main Proposal," has been delivered to Hamas and is currently under discussion among the parties involved in peace negotiations regarding Gaza.
The draft calls for a 60-day truce, with the ceasefire going into effect upon its implementation. The conditions include the release of all Israeli captives in exchange for the release of unspecified Palestinian prisoners within 48 hours.
The proposal also pledges an open flow of aid into Gaza upon the agreement's implementation, although no details have been given on the scale, distribution, or oversight. The draft mentions amnesty for Hamas members, but key terms are left undefined.
President Trump has guaranteed that the parties will negotiate in good faith until an agreement is reached. However, Hamas officials have expressed concerns that the proposal could be a U.S.-Israeli ploy to force surrender. Israeli commentator Amit Segal compared the text to an Israeli plan wrapped in American packaging.
The issues to be negotiated include the definition of Hamas, the definition of disarmament, the formation of a new government, the withdrawal of Israeli forces upon the formation of the government or upon successful conclusion of negotiations, and amnesty for Hamas members.
Hamas demands any agreement include an explicit end to the war, a full Israeli withdrawal, and internationally guaranteed enforcement. The parties involved in these negotiations primarily include Israel, Palestinian factions (including Hamas), international mediators such as the United States, European countries (including Germany), and regional actors.
While a specific proposal by former U.S. President Donald Trump is not currently mentioned in recent news, general efforts involve negotiations for a ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and humanitarian aid under the framework of a two-state solution. The region is affected by the proposed ceasefire, and its successful implementation could have significant implications for the future of Gaza and the broader Middle East.
The proposal was obtained by Drop Site. As negotiations continue, the international community will closely monitor the developments and hope for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
