Details of a proposal to Witkouf .. How did the gaps between Israel and Hamas block?

The site drew its information from 3 sources participating in the negotiations.

An American source told “Axios”: “If every side moves, even a little, we may reach an agreement within days.”

US President Donald Trump has made clear his desire to end a war that killed more than 54,000 Palestinians and more than 1,600 Israelis so far, but the talks have stopped for weeks while Israel is carrying out a large -scale military operation to destroy and occupy Gaza.

The White House now believes that a few steps away from reaching an agreement may eventually stop the war, although it will be temporary at first.

Over the past two weeks, Witakouf has negotiated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief adviser Ron Dermer, and with Hamas leaders in Doha through the Palestinian -American businessman Bishara Bhahbah.

On Monday, after another round of talks with Habhah, Hamas announced its approval of an American proposal for an agreement that includes a 60 -day ceasefire, and the release of 5 neighborhood prisoners on the first day and the same on the last day.

Israel was quick to reject the proposal, and Witakouf replied to this, telling Axius that Hamas “distorted the American offer”, and that the movement’s position is “disappointing and unacceptable.”

But behind the scenes, a source familiar with the talks explained that Monday’s dispute stems from a misunderstanding of the promotion of Hamas, Israel and the United States to the interpretation of the proposal presented to the discussion in a contradictory.

Nevertheless, the talks were resumed on Tuesday in an attempt to reach a compromise, according to “Axios”, held with other meetings with senior Hamas officials in Doha, while Witkev Dermer, who is close to Netanyahu, met in Washington, according to the sources.

On Wednesday, Hamas issued a statement confirming its endeavor to reach an agreement with Wittakouf on a “general framework”, which includes a permanent ceasefire, a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and the introduction of humanitarian aid without restrictions, with the formation of a technocratic committee for the Gaza administration.

The movement announced that this framework “includes the release of 10 hostages and the dedication of a number of dead hostages, compared to an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners, with guarantees from the United States, Egypt and Qatar.”

Two hours later, Witkeov appeared alongside Trump in the Oval Office, and announced that he had formulated a “new conditions document” to approved by the American president.

“I have a very good feeling of a temporary ceasefire and then a long -term solution. A peaceful solution to this conflict,” Witkov said.

A prominent Israeli official said that the new White House draft was understood as “not radically different from the previous versions, but it includes some manipulation of words in an attempt to gain the approval of both Israel and Hamas.”

The main changes focus on the item related to the guarantees demanded by Hamas to conduct serious negotiations on a permanent ceasefire, during the 60 -day truce, and that “as long as these talks continue, Israel will not violate the ceasefire from one side, as it did in March.”

The Israeli official said that the United States tried to find a formula that gives Hamas sufficient confidence that the temporary ceasefire would lead to permanent, while giving Israel a “advantage” that it is not committed to ending the war.

But according to “Axios”, there is another dispute that has not yet been resolving the sequence and the timetable for the release of the hostages.

Israel wants to release all the ten living hostages on the first day of the ceasefire, for fear that Hamas will not meet its obligations later, but the movement seeks to launch them in stages to ensure that Israel does not violate the agreement and resume the fighting before the end of the two -month deadline.

The Israeli official said: “There is no major area of ​​maneuvering in the drafting of the agreement. Hope is that Hamas, under pressure, is ready to waive the guarantees that it requires, and that Netanyahu agree to waive the schedule to release the hostages. The test is still before us.”

While agreeing on the principles of the deal would constitute a major breakthrough after two months of failure, the two parties still need to negotiate more broadly to agree on other details, such as the names of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners who will be released, and the gradual withdrawal of the Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
