The first phase would be a 40-day ceasefire, staving off the Rafah operation, in exchange for female hostages. The next phase would see Israel withdraw from a coastal road, allowing Gazans to return to their homes in the north, and for humanitarian aid to flow more freely. In the third week, talks would begin regarding a formal end to the war, while Israeli troops would withdraw from Central Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The talks aim to bring about a ceasefire based on less contentious issues, holding off the more polarizing questions for a later date. The status of Hamas post-war, who will control the Gaza Strip, and a potential Israeli military occupation are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-family-one-nation\/\" title=\"One Family, One Nation: United\">long-term questions<\/a> that will be discussed in later talks.<\/p>\n<p>One Israeli official, speaking with AFP, said that if a positive development is seen in the talks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Israel<\/a> will send a delegation to Cairo for further negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-would-japanese-intervention-to-boost-the-weak-yen-look-like\/\" title=\"How might Japan intervene to strengthen the yen?\">facing renewed pressure<\/a> to accept a deal, both domestically and abroad.

Accepting a hostage deal as part of a permanent peace deal would fall short of the \u201ctotal victory\u201d Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised, and anger the far-right members of his government. Some far-right Cabinet members have threatened to resign if a peace deal was reached without a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-leadership-deficit-doom-loop\/\" title=\"The Leadership Deficit Doom Loop\">complete victory<\/a> against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The War in Gaza is the bloodiest since Israel\u2019s independence in 1948, with deaths estimated to be in the tens of thousands.
