A Palestinian official confirmed that Hamas has received a new Gaza truce plan aimed at ending the conflict. The proposal outlines phased steps for a ceasefire, aid access, and possible prisoner exchanges.
A Palestinian official revealed that Hamas has received a new Gaza truce plan, designed to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and bring an end to hostilities. The plan, reportedly shared through mediators, proposes a step-by-step framework for de-escalation.
According to the official, the truce plan includes:
- A phased ceasefire to reduce violence on both sides.
- Increased humanitarian aid access to Gaza, where the civilian population continues to suffer.
- Discussions on prisoner exchanges, which could be a key element in the negotiations.
Hamas is currently reviewing the proposal, and initial responses are expected soon. The official added that while the plan presents a potential pathway to peace, its success will depend on whether all parties commit to its conditions.
The latest initiative follows months of efforts by international mediators seeking to end the prolonged conflict, which has caused widespread displacement and devastation in Gaza.
Hamas Reviewing the Truce Terms
Hamas is currently assessing the details of the proposal. Officials say the group will issue its formal response soon. While the plan is viewed as a possible turning point, its success will rely on mutual compliance from both sides.
International Mediation Efforts
The Gaza truce plan comes after continued attempts by international mediators to broker peace. Regional actors and global powers have repeatedly urged both parties to commit to a sustainable ceasefire, citing the devastating toll on civilians and regional stability.
Hope for De-escalation
Although challenges remain, the proposal marks a significant step in renewed diplomacy. Palestinian officials expressed cautious optimism, emphasizing that progress depends on political will and a genuine commitment to ending violence.
