Qatari and Egyptian mediators have unveiled a groundbreaking proposal to end the Israel-Gaza conflict, as reported by BBC News. The plan—developed with input from a senior Palestinian official—proposes a truce lasting five to seven years, the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, a formal end to hostilities, and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
A Hamas delegation is expected to arrive in Cairo to discuss the initiative, though an exact date remains undisclosed. This follows the collapse of a previous ceasefire in March 2024, which left negotiations deadlocked over key conditions.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee amplified calls for urgency, urging Hamas to accept a deal that would enable humanitarian aid deliveries. "The people of Gaza are in dire need," Huckabee stated in a video address, emphasizing the Biden administration’s push for swift action.
If adopted, the agreement could reshape regional stability and humanitarian conditions, offering insights for investors monitoring Middle East security, academics analyzing conflict resolution, and diaspora communities seeking lasting peace.
