Prisoner Exchange Proposal: Egypt’s Two-Day Ceasefire Offer in Israel-Hamas War
Egypt has proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate a humanitarian exchange, including the release of hostages held by Hamas and the transfer of aid into Gaza.
The proposal seeks to create a temporary halt in hostilities to allow for the movement of essential supplies and the safe exchange of prisoners between Israel and Hamas.
Egypt’s involvement underscores its role as a mediator in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, given its border with Gaza and historical ties with both parties.
Israel has expressed caution regarding ceasefire proposals, aiming to prevent further Hamas actions, while calls for a humanitarian pause have grown internationally.
The ceasefire proposal remains under negotiation, and it is unclear if both sides will agree to Egypt’s terms for a temporary halt in fighting.
