US, Egypt an Qatar have been in negotiations to end the Gaza War and Hamas issued their call to action of what they want to end the War. Biden has called it "A Little over the top" with their demands.
The deal they want is as follows
The three-phase plan would see Israeli hostages released in stages – women and children first – in exchange for the Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel, including 500 Hamas would choose from a list of those serving life sentences..
Male hostages over the age of 19 would be released after the first 45-day phase is complete. Israeli forces would fully withdraw from Gaza at the same time.
Notably, the deal also specifically calls out UNRWA, with Hamas demanding that the organization maintain its role in overseeing aid to Gaza. The demand comes after Israel presented extensive evidence suggesting that there were at least 190 Hamas collaborators within the U.N. group.
The deal also calls for a permanent cease-fire to be implemented after the third phase of the agreement is complete.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed they had received the offer late Tuesday, but they have not issued a response.
Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani told reporters he was "optimistic" about the deal in a joint press conference with Secretary of State Antony Blinken. President Biden, however, called the offer "a little over the top."
"We are not sure where it is going and we continue to negotiate," Biden said Tuesday.
