The full text of the ceasefire and exchange proposal that Hamas agreed to
today can be found below, published by Al-Akhbar (
https://al-akhbar.com/Palestine/381557) and translated by RNN.

The proposal results in the release of all zionist prisoners in exchange
for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire,
the full withdrawal of the IOF from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, and
lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip.

The resistance received guarantees (https://t.me/PalestineResist/38548)
from mediators that the term "sustainable calm" yields a permanent
ceasefire. As this was the last remaining disagreement, in light of the
resistance's flexibility on the other four conditions, the proposal was
approved.

It is noteworthy that the zionist entity has not yet agreed to the
proposal. Netanyahu's office issued a statement that a zionist delegation
will be sent to continue indirect negotiations despite that the proposal is
"far from "israel's" necessary requirements. Resistance sources confirmed
that Hamas is sending a delegation to Cairo tomorrow as well.

Basic principles for an agreement between the "israeli" side and the
Palestinian side in Gaza on the exchange of detainees and prisoners between
the two parties and the return to sustainable calm.

The framework agreement aims to release all "israeli" detainees in Gaza,
both civilians and soldiers, whether alive or otherwise, from all periods
and times in exchange for a number of prisoners in "israeli" prisons to be
agreed upon, and the return to sustainable calm, achieving a permanent
ceasefire, and the withdrawal of "israeli" forces from Gaza, and
reconstruction.

The framework agreement consists of 3 interconnected and interrelated
phases, as follows:

Phase One (42 days):
1- Temporary cessation of mutual military operations between the two
parties, and withdrawal of "israeli" forces eastward and away from densely
populated areas to an area along the border in all areas of the Gaza Strip
including Wadi Gaza - ("Netzarim" axis and Kuwait roundabout) as shown
below.
2- Suspension of military and reconnaissance flights in the Gaza Strip for
ten hours a day, and for 12 hours on the days of releasing detainees and
prisoners.
3- Return of displaced persons to their residential areas and withdrawal
from Wadi Gaza ("Netzarim" axis and Kuwait roundabout):
   - On the third day (after releasing 3 detainees) the "israeli" forces
completely withdraw from Rashid Street east to Salah Al-Din Street,
dismantle military sites and installations in this area completely, and
begin the return of displaced persons to their residential areas (without
carrying weapons during their return), and freedom of movement for
residents in all areas of the Strip, and entry of humanitarian aid from
Rashid Street from day one without obstacles.
   - On day 22 (after releasing half of the living detainees including
female soldiers) "israeli" forces withdraw from the central sector
(especially the axes of "Netzarim," Al-Shuhada, and Kuwait roundabout) east
of Salah Al-Din Road to an area close to the border, dismantle all military
sites and installations completely, and continue the return of displaced
persons to their homes in the northern Strip, and freedom of movement for
residents in all areas of the Strip.
   - From day one, intensive and sufficient quantities of humanitarian aid,
relief materials, and fuel (600 trucks daily including 50 fuel trucks, 300
for the north) are introduced, including the fuel necessary to operate the
power station, trade, and equipment needed to remove rubble, and
rehabilitate and operate hospitals, health centers, and bakeries in all
areas of the Gaza Strip, and continue this in all stages of the agreement.

wounded civilians, in exchange for a number of prisoners in "israeli"
prisons and detention camps, as follows:
      - Hamas releases all living "israeli" civilian women and children
(under 19 years of age non-soldiers), in return "israel" releases 30
children and women for each "israeli" released, based on lists provided by
Hamas prioritized by earliest arrest.
      - Hamas releases all living elderly (over 50 years old) and sick and
wounded "israeli" civilians, in return "israel" releases 30 prisoners of
the elderly (over 50 years old) and sick in exchange for each "israeli"

      - Hamas releases all living female "israeli" soldiers, in return

by Hamas.

in the first phase:
- Hamas releases 3 "israeli" detainees on the third day of the agreement

releases the agreed number of Palestinian prisoners from "israeli" prisons,
according to the lists that will be provided by Hamas.

the number of living "israeli" detainees to be released in this phase.
