A senior Palestinian official detailed to Al Mayadeen the latest ceasefire proposal submitted by the Palestinian Resistance, outlining a structured prisoner exchange and long-term truce framework.

The official confirmed that Hamas has agreed to release ten Israeli captives in separate batches, in exchange for several Palestinian prisoners. The exact number would be determined through mediators, as part of a broader agreement being negotiated regionally and internationally.

According to the official, the Palestinian factions are united in demanding US guarantees for a complete cessation of the war on the Gaza Strip and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid.

He further revealed to Al Mayadeen that one of the clauses agreed upon requires that aid be delivered under the humanitarian protocol established on January 17, ensuring consistent and monitored access to life-saving supplies for civilians in the besieged territory.

5-year truce

Among the key demands in the proposal is a five-year truce, intended to establish a stable environment in Gaza and prevent the resumption of attacks. Additionally, the factions have stipulated a willingness to hand over the administration of Gaza to the Community Support Committee, a body seen as capable of managing civilian affairs independently.

The proposal also demands the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces to pre-March 2 borders, reinforcing calls for a return to previous lines as a condition for stability.

The comprehensive proposal reflects the unified position of the Palestinian factions and signals a potential path toward ending the aggression and lifting the siege on Gaza, provided that international guarantees are secured and the occupation complies with the terms.

Hamas submits proposal to Qatari, Egyptian mediators  

Earlier, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, submitted its formal response to the latest proposal presented by US envoy Steve Witkoff. The response was delivered to Egyptian and Qatari mediators, who have been facilitating ongoing negotiations aimed at ending the war on the Gaza Strip.

In an official statement, Hamas said the response came after a round of consultations and reflects the movement’s responsibility toward the Palestinian people and their ongoing suffering.

In its response, Hamas highlighted its three key demands: 

  • Permanent ceasefire,
  • Complete withdrawal of Israeli forces,
  • Uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid 

“We have delivered our response aiming for a permanent ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid to our people in the Strip,” the statement read.

As part of the proposed terms, Hamas has agreed to release ten living Israeli captives and hand over the bodies of eighteen others. In return, the Israeli occupation would release an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners.

The proposal is part of ongoing international efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire following months of renewed aggression after "Israel" reneged on the original agreement, with mediators continuing to engage both sides in search of a comprehensive agreement.

Hamas says it received proposal

This comes after the Palestinian group's official, Basem Naim, announced on Friday that it received the Israeli response to an American proposal and is thoroughly reviewing it.

Naim told Reuters that although "Israel's" response fails to meet any of the Palestinian "just and legitimate demands," it will still review it thoroughly. 

On Thursday, the White House said "Israel" had agreed to a new Gaza ceasefire proposal submitted to Hamas and claimed that the Palestinian Resistance group rejected the plan, saying it failed to meet key demands.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that US President Donald Trump and envoy Witkoff had submitted the proposal to Hamas, noting that “Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent.” She added that talks with Hamas were ongoing.
