Egypt has made an initial proposal to end the war between Israel and Gaza through a ceasefire, the gradual release of hostages and the creation of an expert Palestinian government to run the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, a senior Egyptian official and a European said. diplomat.

The proposal, developed jointly with Qatar, has been presented to Israel, Hamas, the US and European governments, but still appears to be preliminary, the Associated Press reported, citing The Guardian.

However, the proposal is inconsistent with Israel’s stated goal of destroying Hamas and appears inconsistent with Israel’s insistence on maintaining military control over Gaza long after the war.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Israel’s military cabinet is to discuss Egypt’s proposal to end the war in Gaza on Monday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed on Sunday that Israel will continue the fight until the complete defeat of Hamas. This is the only way to destroy Hamas, free all the hostages and ensure that Gaza is no longer a threat to Israel, Netanyahu said.
