According to recent reports, Egypt has proposed a plan that may lead to a potential agreement between Hamas and Israel. The latest proposals have been agreed upon by both sides, paving the way for an imminent agreement. However, there are still several obstacles that need to be addressed before the deal can be finalized.
One of the key issues that need to be resolved is the number of Israelis to be released by Hamas in the initial stage of the agreement. While Hamas claims they are holding no more than 20 Israelis, Israel is pushing for the release of 35-40 individuals. If Hamas does not agree to release at least 20 Israelis in the first stage, it could jeopardize the truce period.
Despite this issue, Hamas remains steadfast in their demand for a complete cessation of hostilities. However, an Egyptian source has indicated that this issue may be postponed until after the truce goes into effect.
Recent revisions made to the Egyptian proposal aim to ensure that hostilities do not resume once the truce expires. These changes reflect efforts made by Egypt to maintain peace and stability in the region moving forward.
Overall, while there are still some obstacles that need to be resolved, there is hope that an agreement may soon be reached between Hamas and Israel.
