According to the Jerusalem Post, Qatar has proposed a new deal aimed at ending Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and establishing a Palestinian unity government not directly linked to the Hamas armed forces.
In this initiative, Qatar proposed a permanent ceasefire to pave the way for a full prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel to resolve the hostage situation. Additionally, the proposal included a mechanism to prevent a recurrence of Hamas attacks on southern Israel.
This proposal has been submitted to the Israeli government, the Palestinian Authority, the Hamas movement, and international organizations, as well as influential Arab organizations involved in Palestinian affairs. Israel has not yet issued any official response to the proposal. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi has confirmed his readiness to welcome any initiative or effort to end the conflict in Gaza. Hamas is currently maintaining contact with various parties, particularly Egypt and Qatar.
To date, more than 22,500 people, including over 21,000 Palestinians, mostly children, have been killed in the conflict. A quarter of Gaza's population is facing severe food shortages. The conflict has also displaced 85% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents.
In other developments, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met on December 29 (local time) to discuss the tense situation in the Gaza Strip amid escalating violence in the Middle East.
At the meeting, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern over the repeated attacks by armed groups in Iraq and Syria, as well as recent attacks by Houthi forces in Yemen on ships in the Red Sea. He urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and immediately take steps to de-escalate tensions.
