"Hamas reveals new terms in Shalit negotiating process, no longer concerning hostages"
**Subtitle:** The latest updates on the ceasefire and hostage deal proposals, US involvement, and the challenges ahead
As diplomatic efforts continue to unfold, the negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain a focal point of international attention. The aim is to reach a ceasefire and hostage deal, with the latest proposal involving a 60-day truce, the release of hostages, and increased humanitarian aid for Gaza.
**Hostage Deal and Ceasefire Proposals**
The proposal, jointly presented by Qatar, Egypt, and the US, includes the release of 10 live hostages and the remains of 18 deceased hostages, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. During the proposed 60-day ceasefire, broader negotiations could take place.
**Frustrations and Delays**
However, the negotiations have not been without challenges. Israel has accused Hamas of delaying its response to a softened Israeli proposal for a partial withdrawal from Gaza, causing frustration among mediators.
**The Role of the US**
The US is playing a significant role in these negotiations, working in collaboration with other international mediators. President Trump has been persuaded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone signing a complete deal, and high-level discussions between the US and other mediators have taken place.
**Future Prospects**
Despite the setbacks, mediators remain optimistic that a deal can be achieved. Some sources suggest it might happen as early as next week. The US's role, in conjunction with other mediators, is crucial in bridging the remaining gaps between Israel and Hamas.
**The Controversial "Humanitarian Camp"**
One of the contentious issues is Israel's proposal for a "humanitarian camp" in Khan Younis, which has been criticised globally for its cruelty and illegality.
**Criticisms and Allegations**
Israel has also been accused by Gershon Baskin of lying about the functioning of the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation." These allegations, along with the ongoing disputes, underscore the complexity of the negotiations and the challenges that lie ahead.
As the negotiations continue, the hope remains that a peaceful resolution can be found, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all parties involved.
- The ceasefire and hostage deal negotiations between Israel and Hamas are not only a focus of regional interest but also a significant point of general-news discussion worldwide.
- The US, beyond its role in providing military aid to Israel, is actively involved in the politics of the Middle East by participating in international mediations aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict.
- The history of this conflict is marked by numerous wars-and-conflicts, and the latest negotiated ceasefire could pave the way for a more peaceful future in the region.
- Along with the proposed truce and hostage deal, the challenge of providing humanitarian aid and combating misinformation, such as accusations of deceptive practices by Israeli organizations like the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," needs to be addressed in the broader news and business perspective for the future of the region.
