Hamas Official Outlines Proposal For A Truce

GAZA STRIP – A top Hamas political official told the Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel.

In an interview Wednesday, Khalil Al-Hayya said Hamas would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

However, it’s unlikely Israel would consider such a scenario as it has vowed to crush Hamas following the deadly October 7th attacks that triggered the war.
