Washington is preparing to withdraw the Yeteckov proposal for a ceasefire due to its expiration.

The newspaper "Al-Quds" learned that the United States is preparing to withdraw the proposal of President Donald Trump's envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, due to its expiration, according to an informed source.

Hamas responded positively on Monday to the proposal from the mediators, Egypt and Qatar, while Israel stated that it would respond on Friday, at a time when Israeli occupation forces are sweeping through the city of Gaza, having called up 60,000 reservists and requested that "medical authorities and relief organizations" prepare to evacuate tens of thousands of civilians from the city of Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (who has an arrest warrant issued against him for war crimes) preemptively stated that the reoccupation of the city of Gaza will proceed, regardless of whether an agreement is reached on the proposal that Hamas accepted.

It is noteworthy that the proposal accepted by Hamas on Monday fully matches Witkoff's proposal presented earlier this summer, which stipulates, among other things, a ceasefire for 60 days, the introduction of aid, and the release of 10 living Israeli prisoners and 18 bodies of deceased Israeli prisoners on the first and seventh days of the agreement's validity. Half of the living and deceased hostages (5 living and 9 deceased) will be released on the first day of the agreement, while the remaining half of the hostages (5 living and 9 deceased) will be released on the seventh day.

According to the source, who requested anonymity "to remain in the good graces of the U.S. administration and its various symbols," the "Trump administration does not trust Hamas and believes that Hamas will not release the prisoners, but is maneuvering from the beginning to achieve gains it has not been able to secure on the ground."

The source noted the administration's conviction that "the hostages are likely to be killed or die," referring to what the U.S. president said on Tuesday on "Truth Social" that the only way is "to confront Hamas and free the hostages."

He added: "Furthermore, Witkoff's proposal has expired, as it was presented months ago, and there are now changes on the ground."

It is noteworthy that the recent negotiations did not include any American diplomat (involved in the negotiations), and while the U.S. administration was informed of Hamas's response, it (the administration) is reviewing the response with hesitation, as Hamas has previously shown that it accepts a proposal but changes its mind at the last moment.

The United States and Israel withdrew from indirect negotiations with Hamas on July 24.
