Leaks from Doha Meeting: Details of Gaza Ceasefire Proposals

In a new development regarding ongoing negotiations on the Gaza crisis, journalist Ahmed Abdeen revealed what he described as leaks from the Doha meeting. According to what Abdeen published on his official page, the circulating proposals included several key points:

1. Reducing the Israeli army presence in the Philadelphia Corridor, not a complete withdrawal.
2. Returning the Palestinian Authority to manage crossings under indirect Israeli supervision.
3. Imposing surveillance in the Tzeelim area.
4. Deporting prisoners released in the exchange deal outside Palestine.
5. Releasing no less than 100 Palestinian prisoners, with the number possibly reducing to 70.
6. No complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
7. Linking humanitarian aid to agreement on the mentioned terms.
8. Setting a time limit for the truce, with the possibility of Israel returning to military operations if the resistance doesn’t agree to its demands.
9. Opening negotiations on reconstruction and lifting the siege after implementing the first phase.
10. Requesting a written commitment from the United States agreeing to the resumption of war (with an implicit recognition of Israel’s right to “self-defense”).

Abdeen pointed out that the mediators seem to be focusing only on the return of Israeli prisoners.

These leaks, if true, reveal the complexity of the ongoing negotiations and the divergence of positions between the concerned parties. It is expected that these proposals will spark widespread debate in both Palestinian and Israeli political and public circles.
