Egypt has put forward a three-phase framework aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The plan outlines a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the creation of a Palestinian governance structure to oversee reconstruction and future elections, according to reports in Times of Israel.
The outlet indicates that, after discussions with several Jewish media outlets, Egyptian officials presented a ceasefire proposal and a pathway for releasing Israeli captives held by militants in Gaza. Some sources suggest Israel has not outright rejected the proposal and that the plan could open doors to negotiations.
Saudi-based Asharq News, citing a participant in Cairo talks between Egypt and Hamas, summarized the initiative as a three-stage process designed to end the fighting and secure the release of all remaining hostages.
The first stage calls for a two-week halt to hostilities, potentially extendable to three or four weeks, in exchange for the release of about 40 hostages, including women, minors, and elderly patients. In return, Israel would free around 120 Palestinian prisoners. According to Times of Israel, the truce would see a halt to combat, withdrawal of Israeli tanks, and a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza during this period.
Phase two envisions the establishment of a technocratic administration in the West Bank and Gaza to oversee reconstruction and to set the stage for Palestinian parliamentary and presidential elections.
Phase three would deliver a comprehensive ceasefire and the release of those Israeli hostages still in captivity, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli facilities associated with Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a group banned in Russia. Under this phase, Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza City and other urban centers, and displaced residents in northern Gaza would be allowed to return home.
Earlier reporting suggested that Jordan may assign responsibility for certain governance roles in the West Bank, with implications for broader regional coordination as talks progressed.
