U.S. Unveils New Plan for Gaza Ceasefire and Prisoner Deal: Insights from Israeli-American Media
Watan-Israeli-American media have revealed a new plan by Washington aimed at achieving a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and stopping the Israeli aggression for two months in exchange for a deal related to prisoners. This has been detailed by a homeland source.
According to the Times of Israel, progress in the potential deal was discussed after a meeting between the CIA Director Bill Burns and the heads of Mossad, Shin Bet, Egyptian intelligence, and the Qatari Prime Minister in the French capital, Paris.
The meeting discussed a two-month ceasefire and the gradual release of hostages. The magazine clarified that negotiators made progress on a potential agreement that would halt the occupation’s military operations against the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, in Gaza for two months.
Details of the American plan for Gaza
In exchange for the temporary ceasefire, Hamas would release more than 100 prisoners, according to senior officials in the U.S. administration. The conditions of the yet-to-be-finalized deal will occur in two stages: the first involves halting the fighting and releasing women, the elderly, and the injured from the resistance, and the second stage involves the release of Israeli soldiers and settlers.
The plan, which does not fully end the war, includes an “invitation” for the occupation to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Path to a permanent solution
U.S. officials hope that such an agreement will lay the foundation for a permanent solution to the war.
It is expected that details of this agreement or modifications to it will be discussed by CIA Director Bill Burns, David Barnea, head of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, along with the head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel.
Negotiations are addressing talks that will focus on the issue of prisoners, according to three informed sources about the scheduled meeting, who were not authorized to comment publicly, as reported by Israeli-American media.
