Hamas has presented a Gaza ceasefire proposal to mediators and the US that includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for freedom for Palestinian prisoners, 100 of whom are serving life sentences, according to a proposal seen by Reuters.
Hamas said the initial release of Israelis would include women, children, elderly and ill hostages in return for the release of 700-1,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, according to the proposal. The release of Israeli "female recruits" is included.

Hamas wants 50 Palestinian prisoners released for every Israeli servicewoman it lets out of the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera television reported, citing Hamas sources.
ReplyDeleteOf every 50 prisoners that would be released, at least 30 should be people that are sentenced to life in prison in Israel. Hamas’ truce proposal comprises three phases, each of which would last 42 days, but the radicals would be ready to release Israeli soldiers only after a complete ceasefire is announced.
