Israel’s current proposal for a hostage deal with Hamas includes a 40-day ceasefire and the release of potentially thousands of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he is “hopeful” Hamas will accept Israel’s latest proposal for a Gaza truce and hostage release deal.
He called the offer “extraordinarily generous”. It reportedly involves new wording on restoring calm meant to satisfy Hamas’s demand for a permanent ceasefire. – BBC
