US-backed Gaza ceasefire plan proposes 60 day truce

30 May 2025 09:24 BST

  • A US-drafted Gaza ceasefire proposal, obtained by Reuters, outlines a 60-day truce with Hamas releasing 28 Israeli captives (dead and alive) within the first week in exchange for 1,236 Palestinian prisoners and 180 Palestinian remains.

  • The plan, guaranteed by the US, Egypt and Qatar, includes immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza via UN and Red Crescent channels.

  • The White House confirmed on Thursday that Israel has accepted the proposal, with Netanyahu reportedly informing hostages’ families of the deal.

  • Hamas stated it is reviewing the terms and will respond by Friday or Saturday.

  • Under the agreement, Hamas would free the remaining 30 captives once a permanent ceasefire begins, while Israel halts military operations and phases out troop deployments.
