As part of a proposed ceasefire deal, Hamas has agreed to release 10 living Israeli hostages and return the bodies of 18 others over a 60-day truce, to be implemented in five phases. However, Hamas insists on a permanent ceasefire and full Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nunu stated the group is serious and ready for a full end to the war. While negotiations continue, the proposal has raised hopes for a potential breakthrough, though no final agreement has been reached yet.
