An unverified Hebrew media report suggests that the latest Qatari proposal for a hostage deal would include the exiling of Hamas leaders.

According to Channel 13 news, the Qatari-backed plan, which is reportedly slated to be discussed by the security cabinet this evening, would see Israel allowing the exile of Hamas leaders outside of Gaza in exchange for the gradual release of all of the remaining hostages as well as the IDF withdrawing entirely from the Strip.

Israeli governmental and military officials have repeatedly stated that the IDF will not stop fighting until it has destroyed the Hamas terror group’s presence in Gaza.
