"If Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a (truce) agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, as negotiations were set to resume in Cairo.

Hamas has offered Israel multiple very tenable peace deals that include the immediate release of all Israeli prisoners and absolutely no demand for reparations for rebuilding the strip that is now thought to be uninhabitable for 70 years. Israel has denied every single one.

They have always wanted palestinians to be exterminated. This is Israel's dream scenario.

I think the word you're looking for is "uninhabitable"

Thank you for providing some sources. I haven't read it all yet and most of the links don't mention offers from Hamas. But I did see on Feb 20 Hamas offered to release some hostages in return for a temporary ceasefire and return of Hamas prisoners. This was rejected by Netanyahu.

I remember hearing one that was basically surrender and leave Israel

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There were no such propositions and they have refused to give number of alive hostages since that was a condition for continued talks.
