Biden says Israel agrees to stop Gaza attacks for Ramadan as Hamas mulls draft truce proposal; Israel under the impression they’re actually involved in the negotiations UPDATE: Hamas nixes deal
2024-02-28
In the context of a mutually agreed upon and honoured formal ceasefire that involves a list of which kidnapped hostages are alive and which are dead, right? Israel is not just going to stop if Hamas won’t, nor continue abiding by the thing when Hamas decides their hudna is over.

studied a draft proposal for a truce which includes a pause in fighting and a prisoner-hostage exchange.

The draft proposal, which a senior source close to truce talks in Gay Paree told Rooters would allow hospitals and bakeries in Gaza to be repaired and 500 aid trucks to enter the battered enclave every day, is the most serious attempt in weeks to end the conflict which erupted in October last year.

Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of March 10th and end on the evening of April 9th.

"Ramadan is coming up, and there’s been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan, as well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out," Biden said during an appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers".

He also warned that Israel risked losing international support due to the high corpse count among Paleostinians, adding that Israel had committed to make it possible for Paleostinians to evacuate from Rafah in Gaza's south before intensifying its campaign there to destroy Hamas.

Biden, whose remarks were recorded on Monday and broadcast on Tuesday, said there was an agreement in principle for a ceasefire between the two sides while hostages were released. He said he hoped to have a ceasefire in the conflict by the following Monday.

"There are too many innocent people that are being killed. And Israel has slowed down the attacks in Rafah," Biden said, adding that a temporary ceasefire would jumpstart a process for Paleostinians to have their own state.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a two-state solution.

Under the draft proposal, the exchange of Paleostinian prisoners for Israeli hostages would be at a ratio of 10 to one, the senior source said.

The draft also states Hamas would free 40 Israeli hostages including women, children under 19, elderly over 50 and the sick, while Israeli would release around 400 Paleostinian prisoners and will not re-arrest them, the source told Rooters.

Mediators have ramped up efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, in the hope of heading off an Israeli assault on the Gaza city of Rafah where more than a million displaced people are sheltering at the southern edge of the enclave

On October 7, Israel launched a ground assault on Gaza. The Israeli forces mercilessly killed 30,000 Paleostinians.

since October 7.

In all, the report says, the US proposed at the Gay Paree talks on Friday that some 400 Paleostinian terror inmates would be released in exchange for 40 Israeli hostages within the intended six-week truce.

Twenty-one Paleostinian security prisoners would be freed by Israel in exchange for the seven Israeli women who were to have been released on the final day of the previous truce, at the end of November, when Hamas reneged on the terms and the truce collapsed; a three-to-one ratio.

Ninety Paleostinian security prisoners would be released in exchange for five Israeli women soldiers held hostage; an 18-to-one ratio. Fifteen of those prisoners would be major turbans with blood on their hands, including several mass murderers.

Another 90 prisoners would be released in exchange for 15 men aged over 50 among the hostages; a six-to-one ratio.

One hundred and fifty-six prisoners would be released in exchange for 13 Israeli male hostages who are ill or injured; a 12-to-one ratio.

Finally, according to the Channel 12 report, some 40 additional Paleostinian security prisoners who were freed in the 2011 deal for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, but who were since rearrested for further terrorist activities, would also be freed.

The report, which is unsourced, says the US proposal was put on the table in Gay Paree, where the US, Israel, Egypt and Qatar

, barring those of "military service age," and the entry of further aid and temporary shelters into Gaza, including heavy machinery and equipment.

Additionally, the report says Israel proposed moving its forces out of crowded parts of Gaza and stopping reconnaissance flights for 8 hours a day as part of a six-week truce accompanying the release of Israeli hostages.
