Egypt Makes New Proposal to Restore Gaza Truce, Sources Say

CAIRO/JERUSALEM - Egypt has put forward a new proposal aimed at restoring the Gaza ceasefire deal, security sources told Reuters on March 24, as the Palestinian health authorities said Israeli strikes have killed at least 65 people in the enclave in the past 24 hours.

The proposal, made last week, follows an escalation in violence after Israel resumed air and ground operations against Hamas on March 18, effectively ending a two-month period of relative calm.

Health officials said Israel has killed nearly 700 Palestinians since it resumed its attacks, including at least 400 women and children.

Islamist group Hamas said several of its senior political and security officials have also been killed.

The Egyptian plan calls for Hamas to release five Israeli hostages each week, with Israel implementing the second phase of the ceasefire after the first week, two security sources said.
