The new US proposal from special envoy Steve Witkoff would see the release of 10 living hostages held in Gaza and the return of the bodies of 18 deceased hostages, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel, confirming reports in Hebrew media.

In the proposal, the United Nations would resume providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

The text of the agreement will not contain an Israeli promise to end the war, says the official.
