(MENAFN- Nam News Network) CAIRO, Mar 25 (NNN-MENA) – Egypt presented a new proposal to Israel and Hamas, aimed at restoring the Gaza ceasefire deal, two informed Egyptian security sources said yesterday.

“Egypt sent an urgent proposal on Sunday night to the warring sides, for ending the war and resuming negotiations on the second stage of the preliminary ceasefire deal,” revealed the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to the new proposal,“Hamas will release five living Israeli hostages, including an Israeli-American soldier, in return for a ceasefire in the strip for 40 days, to pave the way for talks on the second stage,” added the sources.

Hamas immediately agreed to Egypt's new proposal, the sources noted, without specifying whether the Israeli side has delivered a response.

Israel resumed strikes in Gaza on Mar 18, after its ceasefire deal with Hamas that began on Jan 19 unraveled. Israeli forces subsequently launched ground operations across southern, northern, and central Gaza. The death toll from this new escalation has topped 730, raising the total number of deceased to 50,082 since the beginning of the war on Oct 7, 2023, the Gaza-based health authorities reported, yesterday.– NNN-MENA
