The latest proposal in newly restarted talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Hamas and Israel would reportedly include a monthlong truce in exchange for the release of 11-14 hostages.

According to Ynet, the latest proposal has been presented to Qatari interlocutors by Mossad chief David Barnea, who returned from Doha yesterday. The deal would include the freeing of female and elderly hostages being held in Gaza, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

Channel 12 news, meanwhile, reports that it was the Qataris who put forward such a framework proposal.

Earlier, Egypt proposed a two-day ceasefire that would see the release of four hostages.

Hamas officials have indicated in recent days that they are only interested in a comprehensive deal to end the war.
