RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The current proposal put to Hamas over the Gaza war includes a sustained 40-day ceasefire and the release of “potentially thousands” of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says.
“I hope Hamas do take this deal and frankly, all the pressure in the world and all the eyes in the world should be on them today saying, ‘Take that deal,'” Cameron adds in a World Economic Forum special meeting held in Riyadh, calling the proposal “very generous.”
