Israel has proposed a comprehensive deal with Hamas aimed at securing the release of all hostages in exchange for an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The proposal, presented by Gal Hirsch, includes provisions for the safe passage of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and associates, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners and the demilitarization of Gaza. Meanwhile, UN Special Rapporteur Alice Jill Edwards has condemned the recent killings of hostages and called for an immediate halt to hostilities, emphasizing that hostage-taking constitutes torture and inhumane treatment. Edwards has expressed grave concern for the 97 remaining hostages, highlighting the urgent need for their release and humane treatment. She insists on accountability for all violations of international law throughout the conflict, urging global cooperation to alleviate the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis. As the situation remains dire, the complexities of negotiations and the humanitarian crisis continue to unfold.
