Hamas proposes 3-phase truce-plan : 45 days for each phase
First phase.
All Israeli women hostages, males under 19 and the elderly and sick would be released in exchange for female and underage Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Israel would withdraw troops from populated areas.
Second phase.
Release of remaining male hostages; full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Third phase.
Bodies and remains of hostages to be exchanged; hopefully end of war pact as well.
* Hamas wants release of 1,500 prisoners from Israeli jails. Hamas would pick one third of them from a list of Palestinians serving life term.
* 132 hostages still in Hamas custody, about 30 already dead.
* War toll so far : 27,708 A Hamas estimate.
My take
This truce will never take off because Israel has vowed never to leave Gaza and Hamas, after having committed aggression, has the cheek to dictate terms with false statistics!
Tailpiece.
Got up at a 10' to 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.
The maid had come by for work.
Today, there were six workers for external work and two for the internal work. The latter had finished work by teatime.
