What Does the Gaza Hostage Deal Accepted by Hamas Include?

Hamas agreed to a 60-day truce proposed by Egyptian and Qatari mediators including phased hostage releases, while Israel reviews terms amid ongoing conflict and high civilian casualties.

  • Amid expedited ceasefire talks, Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said `The movement has handed over its approval to the new proposal presented by the mediators`, and there has been no immediate response from the Israeli government.
  • Amid a sizeable gap between Hamas's accepted proposal and the Israeli government's demands, Netanyahu insists on all hostages being released at once, Gaza demilitarization, security control, and a government outside the Palestinian Authority.
  • Gaza has been devastated by more than 22 months of war, and Israel's offensive has killed over 62,004 Palestinians, mostly civilians.
  • Amid proposals, Netanyahu responded, saying Hamas was 'under intense pressure' and has yet to engage, dismissing reports of acceptance.
  • Following initial agreements, mediators are expected to announce that an agreement has been reached and set a date for resuming talks, with hostages to be released in two batches.
