Report: Israel, Egypt exchange Gaza ceasefire draft proposals

Israel and Egypt have reportedly exchanged draft documents on a ceasefire-captive release deal, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported.

The new proposals are aimed at bridging the gap between a ceasefire extension tabled by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, and a counter one tabled by Egypt and Qatar in late March, according to the report.

The Egyptian proposal calls for Hamas to release eight living captives and bodies of eight deceased captives in exchange for a truce lasting between 40 and 70 days, as well as Israel releasing a large number of Palestinians from prisons.

A senior Israeli official said it is possible to reach a deal soon, according to the report.
