Hamas informs mediators of its official rejection of Netanyahu's terms for a Gaza truce.

Informed sources have revealed details of a proposal submitted by mediators regarding a prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Hamas. The proposal calls for Hamas to release five Israeli soldiers held captive within 50 days, including American soldier Idan Alexander.


According to the sources, before the agreement began to be implemented, the occupation demanded that Hamas release the soldier Alexander as a goodwill gesture without compensation. It also stipulated the release of 10 soldiers on the first day of the agreement in exchange for the release of 120 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,111 prisoners from the Gaza Strip. The Israeli conditions also included Hamas releasing 16 Israeli bodies on the tenth day in exchange for the occupation handing over 160 Palestinian bodies.


The proposal sets a ceiling for the agreement at 40 days, with negotiations to begin on the second day on new principles. The occupation has introduced conditions related to disarming the resistance and rejecting a complete withdrawal of its forces from the Gaza Strip, with their redeployment as part of the parameters proposed for negotiation.


In return, the mediators pledged to restore the situation to what it was before March 2, open the crossings, and implement the humanitarian protocol. The proposal also stipulated that both Israel and Hamas would provide details on the status of prisoners held by both sides, both living and dead, on the tenth day of the agreement.


The proposal also included a commitment by the mediators to begin immediate negotiations within 50 days regarding a permanent ceasefire, a full Israeli withdrawal, and post-agreement arrangements, making the agreement a first step toward a broader settlement.


Sources explained that Hamas decided not to respond to the occupation's latest proposal, which it presented to the mediators.

She added that Hamas informed the mediators that the occupation had undermined their proposal, which the movement had approved a few days ago.
