Al Jazeera has obtained a copy of the Gaza ceasefire proposal that Hamas said it accepted on Monday. The deal, which was put forward by Egypt and Qatar, would come in three stages that would see an initial halt in the fighting leading to lasting calm and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Palestinian territory. The proposed agreement would also ensure the release of Israeli captives in Gaza as well as an unspecified number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails. Israel has said that it does not agree to the proposal but that it will engage in further talks to secure an agreement – all while pushing on with its assault on Gaza. Meanwhile, the United States, which is also involved in the negotiations, said it is reviewing the Hamas response. The basic principles for an agreement between the Israeli side and the Palestinian side in Gaza on the exchange of captives and prisoners between them and the return of sustainable calm. The framework agreement aims at: The release of all Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip, civilians or military, alive or otherwise, from all periods, in exchange for a number of prisoners held by Israel as agreed upon, and a return to a sustainable calm that leads to a permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, its reconstruction and the lifting of the siege. The framework agreement consists of three related and interconnected stages, which are as follows: The first stage (42 days) [Herein] a temporary cessation of military operations between the two parties, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces eastward and away from densely populated areas to a defined area along the border all along the Gaza Strip (including Wadi Gaza, known as the Netzarim Corridor, and Kuwait Roundabout, as below). All aviation (military and reconnaissance) in the Gaza Strip shall cease for 10 hours a day, and for 12 hours on the days when captives and prisoners are being exchanged. Internally displaced people in Gaza shall return to their areas of residence and Israel shall withdraw from Wadi Gaza, the Netzarim corridor, and the Kuwait Roundabout: On the third day (after the release of three captives), Israeli forces are to withdraw completely from al-Rashid Street in the east to Salah al-Din Street, and dismantle military sites and installations in this area. Displaced persons (unarmed) shall return to their areas of residence and all residents of Gaza shall be allowed freedom of movement in all parts of the Strip. Humanitarian aid shall be allowed in via al-Rashid Street from the first day without any obstacles. On the 22nd day (after the release of half the living civilian captives in Gaza, including female soldiers), Israeli forces are to withdraw from the centre of the Gaza Strip (especially the Netzarim/Martyrs Corridor and the Kuwait Roundabout axis), from the east of Salah al-Din Street to a zone along the border, and all military sites and installations are to be completely dismantled. Displaced people shall be allowed to return to their places of residence in the north of Gaza, and all residents to have freedom of movement in all parts of the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian aid, relief materials and fuel (600 trucks a day, including 50 fuel trucks, and 300 trucks for the north) shall be allowed into Gaza in an intensive manner and in sufficient quantities from the first day. This is to include the fuel needed to operate the power station, restart trade, rehabilitate and operate hospitals, health centres and bakeries in all parts of the Gaza Strip, and operate equipment needed to remove rubble. This shall continue throughout all stages.
Exchange of captives and prisoners between the two sides: During the first phase, Hamas shall release 33 Israeli captives (alive or dead), including women (civilians and soldiers), children (under the age of 19 who are not soldiers), those over the age of 50, and the sick, in exchange for a number of prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centres, according to the following [criteria]: Hamas shall release all living Israeli captives, including civilian women and children (under the age of 19 who are not soldiers). In return, Israel shall release 30 children and women for every Israeli detainee released, based on lists provided by Hamas, in order of detention. Hamas shall release all living Israeli captives (over the age of 50), the sick, and wounded civilians. In return, Israel shall release 30 elderly (over 50) and sick prisoners for every Israeli captive, based on lists provided by Hamas, in order of detention. Hamas shall release all living Israeli female soldiers. In return, Israel shall release 50 prisoners (30 serving life sentences, 20 sentenced) for every Israeli female soldier, based on lists provided by Hamas.
The United Nations and its agencies, including UNRWA, and other international organisations, are to continue providing humanitarian services across the Gaza Strip. This shall continue throughout all stages of the agreement. Infrastructure (electricity, water, sewage, communications and roads) across the Gaza Strip shall be rehabilitated, and the equipment needed for civil defence allowed into Gaza to clear rubble and debris. This shall continue throughout all stages of the agreement. All necessary supplies and equipment to shelter displaced people who lost their homes during the war (a minimum of 60,000 temporary homes – caravans – and 200,000 tents) shall be allowed into Gaza. Throughout this phase, an agreed-upon number (not fewer than 50) of wounded military personnel will be allowed to travel through the Rafah crossing to receive medical treatment, and an increased number of travellers, sick and wounded, shall be allowed to leave through the Rafah crossing as restrictions on travellers are lifted. The movement of goods and trade will return without restrictions.
And that's just phase one. Read the rest of the article for the rest of the ceasefire proposal approved by Hamas.

Hamas just released its proposal for a permanent ceasefire. Israel has dismissed all of their proposals as “unrealistic” — and that has been echoed across the U.S. corporate media.
Here are the actual proposals from each side.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SET OF LIES
They are clinging so desperately to their disproven atrocity propaganda.
Keep shaming and exposing these genocidal lairs.
Your stance on Hamas doesn’t even matter here, you have to agree that every news article you see referring to Hamas as terrorists while refusing to associate any negative terms with Israel is insane. This isn’t even a “Hamas-Israel conflict,” this is Israel in the process of completely wiping out any trace of indigenous Palestinians off the face of the earth. They call Hamas terrorists and completely ignore Israel killing children and families, bombing over a dozen mosques, a church, and a hospital (while threatening to bomb others). This is very deliberate criminalization of one side, making it easier to justify their genocide and feeding deeper into their characterization as less than human, while leaving the other side’s crimes completely unaccounted for. Everyone is so ready to start screaming about injustice and human rights violations until the victims are Palestinian. You’re so ready to believe any lie you see online about Palestinians being “barbaric” and then look away when the truth about Israel shows.
Israel is the only terrorist
Israeli soldiers tortured deaf young Ihab Tanbura in the Beit Lahia region in northern Gaza during their raid on the region and released a video boasting about this torture.
They are truly evil. There is an expression for them in the Quran: "Esfel-i Safilin." (The lowest of the low) That is, a person can reach the highest level or fall to the lowest level with his deeds. Israeli soldiers are the most despicable people I have seen for years.
The depths of dehumanization are endless.
Did Hamas tell Israeli hostages not to celebrate being free and reunited with their loved ones?
This is not just part of Israel's propaganda strategy.
They want to occupy and dehumanize Palestinian hearts. They want to be superior. They want to dominate.
To be superior so as to limit whether Palestinian souls can feel joy, warm, connection. #that goes against the colonial strategy of divide and conquer.
They want to conquer Palestinian souls too. A haplessly futile pursuit.
Why did Israel take their hostages direct to hospital and psychiatric evaluation and interrogation before their family seeing them?
Does the world still pretend there is not widespread documentation of abuse, including torture and even sexual abuse of children in Israeli prisons for decades.
Paraphrasing Golda Meir, the fourth prime minister of Israel, Navarro stated, “If Palestinians put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence; if the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.”
These are incredible articles and I encourage everyone to read them.
The articles give the Resistance a chance to set the record straight and state their goals and motivations. These aren't irrational terrorists, they're freedom fighters. Read and share.
"Palestinians were killed long before Hamas was formed and would still be getting killed even if Hamas never existed."
This is disgusting. This is wrong. Why are these hate crimes allowed in my country. These are not just protests. You cannot recite the mantra of a terrorist organization and call yourself innocent. Stupid, yes; innocent no.

The Resistance is so strong nothing can break them. The whole world is on their knees because of freedom fighters who grew up behind prison walls.
