HAMAS SAYS OPEN TO ‘ALL IDEAS AND PROPOSALS’ AHEAD OF HOSTAGE-TRUCE TALKS IN
CAIRO
AS REPRESENTATIVES ARRIVE IN EGYPT FOR TALKS WITH NEGOTIATORS, SENIOR OFFICIAL
SAYS TERROR GROUP HASN’T ‘RECEIVED ANY NEW OFFER OR PROPOSAL SO FAR’

Demonstrators call for the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip in
Jerusalem, 23, 2024 (Chaim Goldberg/Flash90)
Hamas is open to discussing “all ideas and proposals,” a senior official from
the Palestinian terror group told AFP, as representatives arrived in Cairo on
Saturday for talks with Egyptian negotiators on a possible hostage-ceasefire
deal in Gaza.
The terror group has “not received any new offer or proposal so far,” the Hamas
official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of
the topic.
But he said that Hamas was “open to discussing all ideas and proposals that lead
to the end of the war, Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, the return of
the displaced, the entry of humanitarian and relief aid, and a serious deal to
exchange prisoners.”
The New York Times reported last week that Hamas had been showing increased
flexibility in long-stalled talks for a deal and may agree to Israel forces
temporarily remaining on the enclave’s border with Egypt.
Jerusalem has insisted that troops remain in Gaza to prevent arms smuggling from
Egypt and says it is prepared only for a temporary halt in its campaign to
destroy Hamas.

The talks came after a ceasefire went into effect Wednesday between Israel and
Lebanese-based terror group Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, after a US-led effort to
broker a truce to halt 14 months of cross-border attacks. Hezbollah said the
campaign, launched on October 8, 2023, was in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Following the Lebanon deal, the United States announced a new diplomatic effort
with Qatar, Turkey and Egypt to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of
hostages taken during Hamas’s brutal October 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel
that set off the ongoing war and the Hezbollah attacks.
The Hamas onslaught saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into
Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 251 hostages,
mostly civilians, many amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.

Vowing to destroy the terror group and free the hostages, Israel launched a
wide-scale military campaign in Gaza that the Hamas-run health ministry says has
killed more than 42,000 people in the Strip. That toll cannot be verified and
does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed
some 18,000 combatants in battle as of November and another 1,000 terrorists
inside Israel on October 7.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas
uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including
homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
The only ceasefire so far, in November 2023, saw the release of 105 civilian
hostages kidnapped by Hamas and its allies in exchange for 240 Palestinian
security prisoners held by Israel.

The United States, Qatar and Egypt have led multiple failed efforts since the
start of the year to reach a new ceasefire and hostage release.
US President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to see a Gaza
hostage-ceasefire deal before he re-enters the White House in January.
Trump has confirmed having told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants
Israel to win the war quickly, though he has not publicly given a timeline.

It is believed that 97 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain
in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.
Four hostages were released before the weeklong truce in late November. Eight
hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 37 hostages have
also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military as they
tried to escape their captors.
Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and
2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed in 2014.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of
Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United
States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship
beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to
be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's
entire, complex story.
Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep
readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US
relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI
Community today.
