The Israeli newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” reported on Wednesday that Washington is set to present a “new proposal” for a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange during upcoming negotiations in Doha, Qatar, scheduled for Thursday.
The newspaper added, “The United States is expected to unveil a new ceasefire proposal and hostage release plan at a summit to be held in Doha on Thursday, which is considered a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement.”
The report further noted that “the Biden administration is likely to exert significant pressure on all parties to immediately agree to the proposed framework, although the White House and mediators are preparing for the possibility of failure.”
However, the newspaper pointed out that “the details of the new proposal remain unclear, and it is also uncertain how it differs from previous suggestions.”
It is expected that the proposal will address the key issues raised by both sides, but it is not anticipated to deviate significantly from previous offers.
The United States has announced that Thursday’s meeting in Doha is “the start of negotiations and not for signing an agreement.”
