For the hostage agreement with Israel, Hamas proposes a 135-day ceasefire plan in three phases (45 days each).
This was reported by Reuters, which has seen the draft of Hamas' response to the proposal sent last week by Qatar and Egypt.
The first phase involves the release of women, the elderly, the sick and males under 19 in exchange for detained Palestinian women and minors;
the second phase the exchange of the other men with other detainees and the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from Gaza;
the third is the restitution of the bodies.
Hamas is also asking for aid and the start of reconstruction of the Strip.
In an addendum to the proposal, Reuters adds on its website, Hamas declares that it wants the release of 1,500 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons, a third of whom are among those sentenced to life imprisonment.
Furthermore, by the end of the third phase, Hamas expects the parties to have reached an agreement on the end of the war.
