The \u200bproposal, led\u2063 by CIA Director Bill Burns, aims to secure the release of 40 Israeli captives by satisfying\u2062 Hamas&#8217;s demands. Previous talks involving the release of 700 \u2064prisoners were unsuccessful. In Cairo, the Biden administration urged Israel to free 900 Palestinian prisoners, including terrorists, for each hostage returned by Hamas. Led by CIA Director Bill Burns, the proposal\u2064 targets\u2062 the release of 40 Israeli captives to \u200cmeet Hamas&#8217;s demands, following unsuccessful talks\u2062 on releasing \u2062700 prisoners \u2063earlier.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration pushed Israel to accept a new proposal during hostage negotiations in Cairo over the weekend that would force Israel to release at least 22 Palestinian terrorists and criminals for every one hostage that they would get in return from Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal, introduced by CIA Director Bill Burns, calls for Israel to release 900 Palestinian terrorists and criminal in the first phase of the deal, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/04\/08\/politics\/cia-director-new-proposal-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-deal\/index.html\">reported<\/a>.

They added that the U.S. proposal includes a gradual and almost complete withdrawal of Israel from the corridor that splits the Gaza Strip and prevents Palestinians from returning to the north.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. deal would completely remove Israeli checkpoints that prevent terrorists from escaping back to Northern Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Israeli official said he believes the Israeli concessions on the issue of the return of Palestinians to the northern Gaza Strip may be satisfactory for Hamas,\u201d he added. \u201cHe said it is not clear though whether Hamas will agree to release hostages who are soldiers or men under the age of 50 \u2014 whom the official said Hamas views as critical to pressure Israel for a permanent ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend, the Biden administration pressured Israel in Cairo hostage negotiations to release 22 Palestinian prisoners per hostage received from Hamas.
