Israel Presents Hamas With New Ceasefire Deal

Stand for Israel  |  December 5, 2024

Israeli officials say there’s a potential for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas where the remaining 100 hostages could be released soon, reports The Jerusalem Post:

Israel has given to Hamas, through Egyptian mediators, an updated version of a ceasefire deal proposal that involves the release of the remaining 100 hostages, two Israeli officials said.

Attempting to leverage regional and international shifts—including the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in mid-October, the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in late January—the updated version of the proposal mirrors previous similar efforts while emphasizing the implementation of the first phase of the deal from August.

“The Egyptian and Qatari mediators believe Hamas might now agree to a hostage-release and ceasefire deal, even if it is partial,” one Israeli official noted.

Please continue to pray for the peace of Israel and that the remaining hostages come home soon.
