A senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented a new proposed ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas to US President Joe Biden’s administration, according to an Israeli official. The proposal, put forth by Gal Hirsch, a close ally of Netanyahu who serves as Israel’s coordinator for hostages and the missing, aims to bring a permanent end to the conflict in Gaza.
The proposed deal includes the release of all hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Additionally, the plan involves the safe passage for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to be exiled out of Gaza. However, reactions to the proposal suggest that it may not be well-received by Hamas, as the group has not commented on it yet.
