GAZA, May 30 (Xinhua) — The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on Friday that it is currently consulting with Palestinian forces and factions on the Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East Steven Witkoff.
A source within the movement said on condition of anonymity that the consultations were intended to examine the details of the initiative and ensure that it was in line with Palestinian interests before a final position was taken.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that his government accepts Witkoff’s proposal, according to Israeli state television Kan.
As reported by Kan, citing a senior Israeli official, the proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of 10 live hostages and the handover of 18 bodies in two stages. Israel, in turn, must release 1,236 Palestinian prisoners and hand over the bodies of 180 dead Palestinians. –0–
