The Associated Press obtained a copy of the proposed agreement, and an Egyptian official and a Hamas official confirmed its authenticity. An Israeli official said progress has been made, but the details are being finalized. All three officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the talks.

Here is the draft proposed.

Draft of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal

PHASE 1: (42 Days)

  • Hamas releases 33 hostages, including female civilians and soldiers, children and civilians over 50
  • Israel releases 30 Palestinian prisoners for each civilian hostage and 50 for each female soldier
  • Halt to fighting, Israeli forces move out of populated areas to the edges of the Gaza Strip
  • Displaced Palestinians begin returning home, more aid enters the strip

PHASE 2: (42 Days)

  • Declaration of “sustainable calm”
  • Hamas frees remaining male hostages (soldiers and civilians) in exchange for a yet-to-be-negotiated number of Palestinian prisoners and a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.

PHASE 3:

  • Bodies of deceased Israeli hostages exchanged for bodies of deceased Palestinian fighters
  • Implementation of a reconstruction plan in Gaza
  • Border crossings for movement in and out of Gaza are reopened

When we say border crossings are to be "reopened" is this just a return to Israeli control of the Gazan border? Will the naval blockade remain in place? The whole draft is rather light on details.

That sounds too sensible for me to believe

Reconstruction is going to be a lot, but will Israel return Gazan land, or do they still want to build a “buffer zone”

They didn’t commit genocide to give it back or pay to repair it.
