According to reports, Hamas has sent a letter to the White House proposing a decade-long hudna (truce) in Gaza, under which the terror group would gradually disarm in exchange for a long-term ceasefire, a halt to Israeli targeted killings of senior Hamas leaders, and a gradual IDF withdrawal from the Strip. The proposal includes 'retirement compensation' for Hamas officials, who would be replaced by a technocratic governing committee.
Reports Thursday evening detailed the contents of a letter Hamas sent to the White House, proposing a decade-long hudna (truce) in Gaza. According to the reports, the terror group is prepared to gradually disarm over several years, with weapons surrendered to a technocratic committee, in exchange for a long-term ceasefire, a halt to Israeli targeted killings of senior Hamas leaders, and a gradual IDF withdrawal from the Strip.
The proposal includes a provision for 'retirement compensation' to be paid by Arab states to Hamas officials, who would be replaced by a technocratic governing committee. Hamas would not commit to giving up its heavy weaponry, and the IDF would remain within the Yellow Line security zone while gradually withdrawing from certain areas.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the letter was sent to President Trump requesting a truce of 10 to 15 years. The current details suggest Hamas is attempting to negotiate a framework that preserves some of its military and political infrastructure, while appearing to make concessions. The proposal falls far short of Israel's demand for the complete dismantling of Hamas's military capabilities and governing authority in Gaza.
