Israeli channel: The ceasefire agreement and the exchange deal may be completed within days.

The Israeli Channel 10 reported that Israel has presented a new proposal to Hamas regarding arrangements for the deployment of its military forces within the Gaza Strip. Security and political circles believe the movement will respond positively, potentially leading to a decisive breakthrough in the talks within days.

The new maps presented by Israel include significant flexibility, most notably the redrawing of the Morag axis and changes to military deployments in some areas of the Gaza Strip.

A senior military source confirmed to the channel that "the army recommended that the political and security levels move toward an agreement," while maintaining military forces around the Gaza Strip's border towns.

According to the draft agreement, drafted with the participation of international mediators, the deal includes the release of 28 Israeli captives, including 10 living ones and 18 bodies, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the entry of massive humanitarian aid into Gaza under the supervision of the United Nations and the Red Crescent.

The agreement will be implemented in stages:

Day 1: Launching 8 neighborhoods

Day 7: Delivery of 5 bodies

Day 30: 5 more bodies handed over

Day 50: Two prisoners released alive

Day 60: Delivery of 8 bodies

Israel will also cease all military operations immediately after the agreement goes into effect, with air traffic suspended for 10 hours daily, or 12 hours on prisoner exchange days.

On the tenth day of the truce, Hamas will demand information about the fate of the remaining abducted Israelis, while Israel will reveal the details of more than 2,000 Palestinian detainees from Gaza who have been held in administrative detention since the start of the war. Israel will also commit to releasing a large number of Palestinian detainees as part of the deal.

US mediator Steve Witkoff will arrive in Doha if tangible progress is achieved, to consolidate the agreement and resolve outstanding issues.
