Source close to Hamas confirms proposal on table to free 40 hostages for weeklong truce

A source close to Hamas confirms an Axios report from overnight, telling AFP the talks in Egypt on a possible hostage deal will focus on proposals including a weeklong truce that would see the release of 40 hostages, including women, children and male noncombatants.

The truce would be open to extension if there is agreement on new conditions for further releases, the source says, adding that the proposals have been discussed between Qatar and Israel with the knowledge of the US administration.
