Israel and Egypt have reportedly exchanged draft documents on a ceasefire-for-captives deal, according to a report from Israel’s Kan public broadcaster, Al Jazeera reports.
The new proposals are aimed at bridging the gap between a ceasefire extension tabled by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, and a counter one tabled by Egypt and Qatar in late March, according to the report.
Witkoff’s proposal, tabled last month, called for the release of five Israeli captives in exchange for a two month ceasefire and the release a large number of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.
Egypt’s proposal calls for Hamas to release of eight living captives and eight deceased captives in exchange for a truce lasting between 40 and 70 days, as well as Israel releasing a large number of Palestinians from prisons.
