The source added that “the idea of Hamas withdrawing from politics and disarming in exchange for a long-term truce was suggested by the US delegation but was rejected by the movement.”
The source further explained: “Hamas showed flexibility and agreed to release ten hostages in exchange for a two-month ceasefire, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the proposal, which led to its suspension.”
“Hamas also proposed the release of American citizen Aidan Alexander as a goodwill gesture, without an official handover ceremony, to keep negotiations open with Washington,” the source added.
Earlier, Adam Boehler, the US President Donald Trump’s envoy for captive affairs, disclosed some details of meetings held with Hamas to reach an agreement on Gaza, describing the talks as “very helpful.”
In an interview, Boehler stated that Hamas had offered to release all hostages in exchange for a ceasefire lasting between five and ten years.
He further stated that a possible scenario could be envisioned where detainees from both sides would be released, a long-term ceasefire would be reached, Hamas would be disarmed, and the group would step aside from governing Gaza.
