The proposed new formula for ending the war in Gaza, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, suggests a truce lasting between five and seven years, with a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. However, this plan comes amid intense ongoing violence, with Israeli air strikes continuing to target Gaza, and discussions taking place in Cairo between Hamas and Egyptian mediators.
The situation remains highly fluid, with both sides blaming each other for the failure of previous ceasefire attempts, and no official comments yet from Israel on the latest mediation proposal. The main challenge lies in the stark differences between the positions of Israel and Hamas, especially concerning the terms for a ceasefire and the future governance of Gaza.
