Israel's security cabinet discusses possible resumption of talks with Hamas

Israel's security cabinet discussed on Thursday a Qatari proposal that would see the release of more hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, reported from Jerusalem Post.

The proposal is still in its early stages as of Friday.

According to the proposal's outline, the first phase will include a humanitarian exchange deal that will contain the release of 40–50 hostages in exchange for a complete ceasefire of a few weeks, according to three senior Israeli officials.

The second phase is expected to be more complex, its details are not yet completely clear, but the direction is to arrange a withdrawal of IDF troops from the area.

Despite the cabinet discussing the proposal, neither Israel nor Hamas have yet responded to the offer.
