Doha talks fell flat over hostage exchange, IDF withdrawal, Hamas source tells CNN

Managers of the Israeli Foreign Affairs judged that Hamas had “only hardened its position, and in fact, there was a regression in its position during negotiations”.

Negotiations on the ceasefire and the hostages collapsed between Israel and Hamas on two collision points: the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for hostages from Gaza and the calendar for the withdrawal of Israel, CNN reported on Friday, citing a senior Hamas.

The source told CNN that Hamas had submitted two proposals concerning the collage points shortly before the Israeli delegates and the American delegates were left early Thursday.

The American special envoy in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, said after the meetings that Hamas showed “a lack of desire to reach a cease-fire in Gaza”.

What were the snack points?

CNN reported that according to Hamas’ proposal, Israel would exchange 200 Palestinian prisoners serving perpetuity sentences in more than 2,000 Gazan prisoners in exchange for 10 living hostages.

In exchange for the bodies of Israeli hostages, the terrorist group would receive “10 corpses of Palestinians over 50 Gaza prisoners who were captured after October 7, and women and children under the age of 18, to be appointed by Hamas.”

Hamas’ proposal, as seen by CNN, also detailed what the terrorist group sought with regard to a TSAhal withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

In the proposal, Israel would have withdrawn 800 meters from the populated areas in the north of Gaza and 1,000 meters from those not populated. In Rafah, the FDI would be dropped from 700 to 1,200 meters, depending on the city.

“The occupation is gradually withdrawing at a rate of 50 meters per week of the Philadelphi corridor,” said the document. “On the 50th day, he will withdraw from the entire Philadelphi line.”

The Jerusalem post Previously, another important gap in negotiations was the delivery of humanitarian aid.

“Israel had accepted the framework (of the United States) for the release of hostages and a cease-fire, but Hamas only tightened its position, and in fact, there was a regression in its position during the negotiations,” said a spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Affairs, according to CNN.

Israeli and American negotiators said they were now working on alternative means to bring hostages home.

“Hamas is the obstacle to a hostage release agreement. With our American allies, we are now considering alternative options to bring our hostages to the house, ending the Hamas terrorist regulations and ensuring sustainable peace for Israel and our region,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
