2. Hamas official described the reaction of the group to the proposals of the ceasefire supported by the US from the special History of Trump in the Middle East Steve Witkoff as “positive”, but said he was looking for some changes.
The proposals assume a 60 -day ceasefire and replacement of 28 out of 58 hostages, which were still held in Gaza for more than 1200 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, along with the entry of humanitarian aid to the enclave.
3. The Palestinian militant group said it was willing to release 10 live hostages and pass the bodies of 18 dead in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
In return, Israel would release 125 Palestinian terrorist convicts who serve life sentences, 1,111 gazans detained since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023 and 180 bodies of Palestinians, Israel currently reported The Times of Israel.
Hamas, however, repeated the requirements for the end of the war and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, the conditions of Israel rejected.
Hamas said in his statement: “The aim of this reaction is to achieve a permanent ceasefire, a total withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to our people in the zone.”

Israel had previously rejected Hamas’s conditions, instead demanding complete disarmament of the group and dismantling it as an army and government forces, along with a return of all 58 remaining hostages.

9. US President Donald Trump said that Friday’s mediators were “very close” to achieve an agreement on a ceasefire and hostage between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. “We will give you to know about it during the day or maybe tomorrow, and we have a chance,” Trump told reporters in an oval office.
