Ok, so….who’s level does Israel have to get to…for them to be a democracy. Canadas? Someone else’s?
Hamas has agreed to the latest proposal from regional mediators for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel, a source in the Palestinian armed group has told the BBC.
According to a Palestinian official familiar with the talks, the proposal from Egypt and Qatar is a comprehensive two-stage plan based on a framework advanced by US envoy Steve Witkoff.
It would see Hamas free around half of the 50 remaining Israeli hostages - 20 of whom are believed to be alive - in two stages during a 60-day temporary truce. During that time, there would be negotiations on a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli troop withdrawal.
There was no immediate comment from Israeli officials who after almost two years, want all their people, dead or alive, returned, and to have this threat from Hamas who’s attacked them repeatedly gone.
The proposal from regional mediators would see Israeli hostages released in two batches during a 60-day truce, according to a Palestinian official.
