Washington: An American negotiator playing a crucial role in facilitating truce talks between Israel and the Palestinian resistance organization, Hamas, has stated that Israel could cease hostilities for a period of two months in exchange for the potential signing of an agreement that includes the release of prisoners.
According to a international news agencies, the American negotiator, on the condition of not disclosing their name, mentioned that they are working towards progress in the agreement. The potential agreement is expected to have two phases, with Hamas releasing over 100 Israeli captives. However, the possible treaty will not completely end the conflict.
The American negotiator noted that in the potential agreement’s first phase, Hamas would release Israeli prisoners, including women, children, the elderly, and injured individuals.
Reportedly, during the first phase of the agreement, leaders from Israel and Hamas will engage in discussions on the second stage, which would involve further negotiations regarding the release of additional Israeli prisoners.
According to the foreign news agency, American authorities hope that this anticipated agreement could lay the foundation for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict.
