Israel National News reports: “A senior official of the Hamas terrorist organization told the Qatari television station Al Jazeera that the proposal that Egypt made for a ceasefire and hostage deal included the disarming of Hamas.

‘Egypt informed us that there will be no agreement to end the war without negotiations on disarming the organization,’ he noted.

He added, ‘We reiterated that the only way to any agreement is [for Israel] to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and end the war, not the issue of weapons.’

According to him, the proposal that Egypt submitted includes the release of half of the hostages in the first week of the agreement and the handover of the living and dead hostages by the end of the 45-day truce…”
