A 135-day “ ceasefire ” divided into three phases, 45 days each. It is the proposal put forward by Hamas for the agreement with Israel on the hostages , after the first step taken by Qatar and Egypt.

The first phase involves the release of women, the elderly, the sick and males under 19 in exchange for detained Palestinian women and minors; the second phase was the exchange of the other men with other detainees and the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from Gaza ; the third is the restitution of the bodies . Hamas is also asking for aid and the start of reconstruction of the Strip.

In an addendum to the proposal – as reported by Reuters – Hamas says it wants the release of 1,500 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons in total. A third of these are serving life sentences. Furthermore, by the end of the third and final phase, the Islamic faction expects the parties to have reached an agreement on the end of the conflict. For Israel, however, the conditions posed by the Islamic organization would be "impossible". Which is why "we will not stop fighting".
