Sky News Arabia has reported that Egypt and Qatar, with support from Turkey, are presenting Hamas with a new initiative aimed at facilitating the release of hostages. The proposal seeks to address concerns about potential military actions in Gaza City by offering a negotiated exchange: all living Israeli hostages and the bodies of deceased hostages would be released in return for the release of a specified number of Palestinian Arab prisoners.
Additionally, the plan outlines a revised deployment map for Israeli forces, which would be overseen by Arab and American mediators until a broader agreement is reached concerning weapons and Hamas's authority. If Hamas accepts the initiative, it will be passed to the American mediator before being presented to Israel.
