Officials say Egypt has introduced a new proposal to try and get the Israel-Hamas ceasefire back on track
Officials say Egypt has introduced a new proposal to try and get the Israel-Hamas ceasefire back on track.
Hamas would release five living hostages, including an American-Israeli, in return for Israel allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and a weekslong pause in the fighting, an Egyptian official said. Israel would also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
A Hamas official said the group had “responded positively” to the proposal, without elaborating.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief media on the closed-door talks.
