Qatari and Egyptian mediators have proposed a new formula for ending the conflict in the Gaza Strip, BBC News reported on Monday, citing a senior Palestinian official.
The proposed plan includes a ceasefire for five to seven years, the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, a formal end to the conflict and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the report said.
A senior Hamas delegation is due to arrive in Cairo for consultations, but no date has been set.
The initial phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended at the beginning of March this year, with both sides unable to agree on the next steps.
On Monday, the new U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, called on Hamas to agree to a deal that would secure the release of hostages in exchange for humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
"We call on Hamas to sign the agreement so that humanitarian aid can flow into Gaza to the people who desperately need it," Huckabee said in a video message on the X website.
