Overview

  • Egypt, Qatar and Turkey have jointly drafted a ceasefire-hostage exchange plan to present to Hamas negotiators in Cairo.
  • A senior Hamas delegation led by chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya is scheduled to meet Egyptian officials in Cairo on Wednesday.
  • The proposal offers a single-stage swap of all Israeli captives, including the deceased, for Palestinian prisoners and bodies.
  • It envisions a 60-day cessation of hostilities with an interim Israeli military pullback supervised by Arab states and the United States.
  • The draft requires Hamas to freeze its military activities pending negotiations on disarmament and Gaza governance; Israeli security officials have expressed doubts about enforceability.
