Hamas proposed a ceasefire plan in Gaza that would last four and a half months, until the end of the war. Thus he responded to the proposal made last week by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, backed by the United States and Israel.
According to a draft, the Islamist militia’s counterproposal foresees three phases each lasting 45 days. The offer would cause them to exchange to all Israeli hostages held hostage since October 7 by Palestinian prisoners.
It also implies the beginning of the reconstruction of Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Strip and the exchange of bodies.

The Secretary of State plans to meet with Israeli authorities as part of his tour of the Middle East, which included Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Qatar.
