Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar newspaper reports that the latest ceasefire proposal for Gaza is focused on three central issues.
Firstly, it says that the agreement requires Israeli forces to withdraw to the positions they held before the collapse of the last ceasefire on March 2. At that time, the IDF had not fully withdrawn from Gaza, and remained stationed along the so-called Philadelphi Corridor.
The second item is the matter of humanitarian aid. According to the report, the United Nations mechanism for delivering aid would be reinstated, “to ensure uninterrupted supply.” While the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is not explicitly mentioned, the report suggests that the UN mechanism would be used exclusively.
Finally, the proposal includes a commitment to continue negotiations over the broader future of the ceasefire, even if an agreement on ending the war is not reached before the initial truce begins.
