Hamas presents ceasefire proposal to mediators

Hamas presented its ceasefire proposal to mediators.

The document, seen by Reuters, would have Israeli women, children, elderly and sick hostages released in a first stage in exchange for 700-1000 Palestinian prisoners.

It would include 100 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and on the Israeli side would include "female recruits" in the Israeli army.

A date on the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, as well as a permanent ceasefire, would be agreed upon after the first stage.

Hamas says all detainees from both sides should be released in the second stage.
