Egypt has presented a new proposal aimed at restoring the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, following an escalation in violence after Israel resumed air and ground operations against Hamas last Tuesday. The proposal was revealed by security sources to Reuters on Monday.
According to the sources, Egypt’s plan suggests that Hamas release five Israeli hostages per week, with Israel implementing the second phase of the ceasefire after the first week. The proposal has reportedly received the approval of both the U.S. and Hamas, but Israel has not yet responded.
The Egyptian proposal also includes a timeline for the release of all hostages in exchange for a timeline outlining Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza, with U.S. guarantees supporting the arrangement. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the terms of the January ceasefire agreement but has expressed a willingness to negotiate and is currently reviewing proposals put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
The situation remains fluid as both sides continue to assess the terms of the new ceasefire proposal, with Egypt working to mediate and de-escalate the ongoing conflict.
