Egypt floats fresh truce proposalOfficials have said Egypt has introduced a new proposal to try and get the Israel-Hamas ceasefire back on track.
Hamas would release five living hostages, including an American-Israeli, in return for Israel allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza and a weekslong pause in the fighting, an Egyptian official said.
The proposal suggested Hamas release five Israeli hostages each week, while Israel would start implementing the second phase of the ceasefire deal after the first week.
Israel would also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
A Hamas official said the group had “responded positively” to the proposal, without elaborating.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media on the closed-door talks.
