Hamas declares its willingness to ‘complete end to the war’
The proposal, backed by Washington, includes a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, increased humanitarian aid, and mediated talks to end the conflict. Israeli officials have indicated they are not formally committing to a full ceasefire under the current plan.
Hamas confirmed receipt of the proposal and said it is working to close differences to return to negotiations. A Hamas delegation is expected to meet with Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo soon.
The group has also offered to release about 50 remaining hostages in exchange for Israel’s full withdrawal and a permanent end to the war—terms Israel has rejected. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained that Hamas must surrender, disarm, and leave Gaza, conditions Hamas refuses to accept.
The conflict, now entering its 22nd month, has devastated Gaza, with over 57,000 deaths reported by the Hamas-run health ministry. The war began with a Hamas attack on southern Israel that killed approximately 1,200 people and resulted in 250 hostages taken by the group.
