Hamas has proposed a deal to exchange all hostages for a set number of Palestinians jailed by Israel, rejecting an interim truce and calling for broader negotiations to end the war in Gaza.
In a televised speech on April 17, Khalil Al-Hayya, Hamas' Gaza chief, offered to negotiate an immediate deal with Israel to swap hostages for an agreed number of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. Al-Hayya, who leads the Hamas team in indirect talks with Israel, emphasized the group's rejection of any partial agreements, stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government uses such deals to further a political agenda aimed at continuing the war.
