What does the Gaza ceasefire proposal entail?

14 Jan 23:35

Qatari mediators have introduced a draft agreement aiming to end the 15-month-old Israeli war on Gaza. The proposal includes a prisoner exchange, phased Israeli troop withdrawal, increased humanitarian aid, and discussions on Gaza's future governance. In detail, 33 Israeli captives, including women, children, and the elderly, would be exchanged for over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. The draft also suggests reopening the Rafah crossing and boosting aid, addressing Gaza's humanitarian crisis. However, the contentious issue of who will govern Gaza post-war remains unresolved, with provisional administration talks ongoing between "Israel," the UAE, and the US.
