A proposed truce was negotiated this weekend in Paris between American, Israeli, Qatari and Egyptian representatives. The leader of the Islamist movement, Ismaïl Haniyeh, based in Qatar, “confirms that the movement has received the proposal that circulated during the meeting” According to the New York Times, this plan would involve a six-week truce and the release of certain hostages against Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
Elderly people, women and children, still held in Gaza, would be particularly affected.
