What Was Actually in Hamas’ Ceasefire Proposal? 

Saudi Arabia is in no position to criticise Israel after turning Yemen into a graveyard

"You surrender - and we might give you some of your hostages back alive." Who the hell would accept that.

Bruh that’s the worst deal I’ve ever heard and I’m German and read Versailles.

Equating living hostages to corpses of hostages is ridiculous, on the other hand is the idea of moving thousands of people to one corner of Gaza as the other is bombed, over and over again expected to be doable?

Absolutely mental. No one would have accepted that “deal”

Differences between the Israeli proposal and Hamas's proposal: - In Hamas's proposal, they do not commit in the first stage to release only living hostages, as Israel demanded, but it is noted that in the first stage, 33 hostages will be released - "alive or bodies," according to the criteria that meet humanitarian release. - Hamas wants to release 3 hostages every week, Israel wanted 3 hostages every three days. - The proposal states that the bodies will be delivered as a completion to the number 33. In Israel, they want the third stage of the deal to include returning bodies, and in the first two stages, only living hostages will be returned. - Different keys for the release of prisoners (30 and not 20 for each hostage, 50 and not 40 for a female soldier) - Regarding the release key for female soldiers, Hamas wants 30 lifetime prisoners (plus 20 prisoners whose remaining imprisonment time is up to ten years), Israel is willing to release 20 lifetime prisoners (plus 20 prisoners whose remaining imprisonment time is another ten years) - In Hamas's proposal, there is no Israeli veto right over the names of the lifetime prisoners, nor an option for extradition outside of Gaza, as Israel demanded - There is an agreement that by the seventh day, Hamas will transfer a list of the hostages it holds, but the document Hamas agreed to includes the phrase 'as far as possible' - Difference in the timing of the military withdrawal from Rashid Axis: The Israeli proposal speaks of a week after implementing the deal, and at the end of releasing all women, the Hamas presentation speaks of three days after, and not dependent on the release of the women - Hamas's proposal includes a commitment to reach agreements regarding the prisoner release key for men - soldiers and civilians - by day 35 - Hamas's proposal includes a clause that defines that the temporary ceasefire (the cessation of military activity) will continue in phase B until a full agreement is reached. Hamas's proposal does not include a clause about the 'end of the war' in the first phase - Hamas's proposal includes the release of all prisoners who were re-arrested after being released in the Gilad Shalit deal. This is not mentioned in the Israeli document - Hamas's proposal includes the removal of restrictions on the conditions of prisoners in Israeli jail imposed following 7/10. This is not mentioned in the Israeli document - Israel and Hamas agree on evacuating wounded Hamas members for treatment outside the Gaza Strip - but do not agree on the number (Hamas wants at least 50 per day) and also on the timing of the implementation of the move (Hamas wants from the first day, Israel agreed after two weeks) - Israel demanded that as part of the rehabilitation, Hamas must not rebuild its military infrastructure, as well as the importation of materials for military use. This was removed from the Hamas proposal - Guarantors to the agreement - The Israeli proposal includes Qatar, Egypt, and the USA. The Hamas proposal also includes the UN, in addition to Qatar, Egypt, and the USA.

I nearly spit my drink out after hearing you say the first initial details of hamas’s proposal. The last 24 hours of the news cycle first seemed to imply that Hamas was agreeing to the proposal that was on the table and that Israel was walking away from it, then more reports on how it was a different agreement proposal that wasn’t even floated yet, and now hearing the specifics it’s hard to believe Hamas is being serious about diplomacy at all here. From a completely an objective standpoint the idea that one party would abandon all military gains and favorable positioning for a pinky promise of maybe releasing hostages piecemeal starting a month from now is absurd. Bilateral agreements are inherently built on proportional concessions and checks that incentivize both sides to hold their end of the agreement.

Hamas accepted a deal that wasn’t on the table.

Yeah, I can see why Hamas would agree to that deal. They only have to send back corpses but they get all their people back.

2:27 So what is stopping them from giving 33 corpses

Could someone go over the differences between the Egyptian proposal that Israel accepted and the Egyptian proposal that Hamas accepted?

That is an awful deal

"It's unlikely Netanyahu understand it the same way" is certainly one way to put it

I am sorry that was not a deal? That was a wishlist of everything hamass wants I am not shocked Israel did not agree.

Imagine starting a war, losing it and then making demands while hinting at a fact that most, if not all, hostages are already dead.

you cant brake a ceasefire 2 time in 2 months and then ask why no one agreeing to your ceasefire

After negotiating with themself Hamas agreed to the deal they proposed.

That deal makes no sense to me, from all the way over here it doesn't look like hamas has much a position to make any demands

"This deal is a ruse meant to make it look like we rejected a deal and invaded instead of negotiating." *Rejects the deal and invades*

I'm hearing a lot of 'Israel must do this' demands.

What is funny is that hamas still thinks they can dictate terms after the conditions they are in😂

Hamas seems to be negotiating as though they are winning. It doesn’t work that way

The first phase of hostage releasing in the original deal was only live ones, and the deal Hamas approved say that the hostages released could either be dead, or alive, according to Hamas's choice- This is one of the biggest gap between the deals Also, the Hamas deal is forcing Israel to stop the war, which is obviously not possible if the target of the war is to defend Israel from another October 7th

The US and ISrael proposed a deal for months. Why didn't Hamas accept that? That would have released the hostages and there would have been a permanent ceasefire.

It’s quite simple to understand why Israel are attacking Rafah… because Hamas started attacking Israel from Rafah. Not hard to understand.

Problem is, from Israel's POV, leaving Hamas around is asking to be attacked again in the future. It's a risk the government there is likely not willing to take

"Hamas agreed to a cease fire deal" is a WILD oversimplification . that's the same as saying i agreed to a deal to buy your channel for 1$

I wouldn't have accepted that deal if I were Israel either.

I don't get why israel is painted as the unreasonable party. The ceasefire deal Hamas 'agreed' to essentially means rollback the clock to October 8 and give Hamas everything they want. It's not a ceasefire, it's a demand for Israeli surrender

I am for ceasefire. But this "Ceasefire Proposal" sounds more like a surrender proposal for Israel.

I find it striking that Hamas can say, "We agree to give back the hostages. Well, unless we've killed them all", and a large part of the world will treat this as a good-faith effort at peaceful coexistence.

It semms funny that Hamas, losing side which provoked a war makes demands like they were celebrating victory in Jerusalem. I hate wars, I cannot understand why someone would want to kill anyone. However, when you play grown up-games, you face grown-up consequences.

So it was more like a list of demands from Hamas?

not even a fool would accept this deal.

Your report is not correct. Netaniyahu or any other, Israeli side did not agree at any stage to the ambiguity "live or dead" hostages and not to the number of 33 of those. This basically means that Hamas can return 3 bodies every week and say that they respect this agreement.

Can't figure out why Israel would've said no to this... 'proposal'. /sarcasm. Seriously, why would Israel agree to these ridiculous terms that don't even release no where near all the hostages, and then Hamas having the audacity of demanding Palestinian prisoners' freedom for the bodies of said hostages.

Hamas agreed to a deal they negotiated with themselves 🤦‍♀️

I really appreciate you guys so much, theres so many political commentator RU-vidrs now that will say completely different things about what should be just facts of the matter, i read the deal and i dont like how everyone is completely misrepresentating it to pander to there side, keep going and much love from Canada.

No wonder they said no if that's the deal, crazy to make such demands when youre on the loosing end.

Israel won't agree to a deal that leaves Hamas standing in the end of the war. Hamas won't agree to a deal that doesn't force Israel to stop fighting while Hamas is still in power. Both sides have said so, and so no deal can be had. It's painfully obvious that whatever Hamas claimed to agree to hasn't come from Israel, and therefore is simply proposing an offer rather than accepting one.

This is not "His invention of Gaza." I strongly oppose Netanyahu, but this is an Israeli response that is widely supported.

Hamas proposal was a joke. They don’t want a ceasefire. To say otherwise is a joke also

Leaving Hamas is like letting a snake live in your bed , Israel must not do that

It's VERY telling that Hamas wants a ceasefire and not a treaty/truce. Shows that they're wanting to go back in and fight again. Peace is never an option.

0:46 You said "peace agreement", but it is not a peace agreement with the Palestinians. What was proposed was a ceasefire for a few years, Hamas will receive aid from all over the world and will attack again after this. With his stated and practical goal of destroying Israel then there was no peace. Recently there was an interview (from a month ago) with the leader of Hamas who clearly says that this step is only to promote the destruction of Israel.

Could you do a video on why no one is discussing or producing videos etc. about the other atrocities happening in the Middle East and Africa? It seems these atrocities are, in some cases, many thousands of times worse than what is happening in Israel.

So according to Hamas, 1 isrealis worth 50 Palestinians?

Wow, you really hit the "three things" of "three things". Normally it boils down to "the way we see it comes down to three things" or "two reasons". Straight up every video has the inevitable "three things" moment.

The only reason Hamas ever made any sort of agreement was because they would be expelled from Qatar otherwise

Oh shit here we go again, toxic comments in 1... 2...3

The theatre of war.

Just curious - why did you not do a similar video on the multiple ceasefire deals rejected by Hamas over the past several weeks. Seems that is rather pertinent to how we got to this situation. Your reporting makes it seem as though Israel has not been at the negotiating table. Regretful TLDR now chooses to paint a biased picture, I had really enjoyed your reporting in the past but it seems, I should probably re-evaluate my trust in what your organisation puts out there if cherry picking facts is your method.

Hamas isnt in a position to negotiate. Anything less than unconditional surrender shouldnt be acceptable to Israel

Just prior to 2:44 that should be "fewer details" because details are countable or potentially countable. So for example less water, or fewer water molecules.

Hamas's expectations of israel to accept their "proposal" Is ludicrous at best and flat out dumb at worst

What am I missing, but... If Hamas cares about their ppl they should just unconditionally surrender.

FACT: On October 7th, Palestinians celebrated in the streets, distributed cakes, and helped kidnap Israelis to Gaza, into the tunnels. They also, in exchange for money, kept the kidnapped individuals in their homes to blend them into the population.

I find it disgusting that you say that the Rafah assault will damage Israel's standing instead of pointing out it has led to hundreds of deaths with many more to come.

Is it me or Netanyahu is wearing the kippah more now than ever before?

Something tells me Hamas really didn't want a deal buuut, losing that last big area might just kill their movement. Hence suddenly they act nice.

A ridiculous proposal, as if Hamas was on the winning side...

Hamas agreed to a deal that was not on the table. It’s a ploy to put pressure on Israel. But history has shown Israel no amount of pressure will stop this war. Slow it yes but not stop it

Ok can we all agree it’s hella sus they made a higher exchange rate for female prisoners?

The poster pointing at rafah at 00:14 looks like a poster that was dropped on allied soldiers in dunkirk.

The problem is that you can say that it's the same deal Israel proposed. But the question is when? At that time Israel did not attack and Hamas did not accept. Now the wheel has turned. And the same can not be applied.

Not going to lie. Why sre Hamas acting like they have the upper hand here??

They are not in a position to negotiate 😅

Under qatar, egypt and UN. Ha, yea right

New proposal. Hamas dies or surrenders. Then ceasefire. How's that?

They wouldn't be able to throw their gays off the rooftops if there will be no rooftops left in Gaza.

Can you site the poll for Israeli and use of force in Gaza?

Hamas didnt accept an Israeli ceasefire proposal. They received, modified and accepted their own modified proposal. No agreement between two parties works like that. Imagine you make an offer on a house, and the owner doubles the price and accepts the modified offer. Hamas aren't serious. There only goal is to destroy Israeli credibility, with no fear for their own because they're already a terrorist group. Btw anyone can find their modified ceasefire "agreement", it's in Arabic though, so you have to translate it if you dont speak Arabic.

Good video, thanks tldr

What a one sided deal?????? NO DEAL BY ANYONE SANE!

Don't you get it! There are none left

Israel agreed 3 weeks ago on a deal, the deal Hamas agreed on was NOT the same one presented to Israel, the key difference is that Hamas is not required to bring living people, he can exchange 33 bodies and keep the living hostages

Crafting such an agreement shows Hamas hasn't been satisfied yet with Palestinian sufferings.

Where to?😂 Raffa is on the Egypt border

Sounds like a very one sided agreement.

Here we go again

I have a lot of respect for this channel but the title and thumbnail are misleading. The current title/thumbnail make it look as if the ceasefire deal/negotiations were a factor in deciding whether to invade. The truth is, as stated by Netanyahu in a public address a few days ago, Israel planned to invade Rafah regardless of whether a ceasefire deal is reached or not. Do not (even if unintentionally) justify for Israel.

Not going to lie that deal sucked. Can't even get living hostages in the first part.

Theres probably very few hostages left.

Plan that hamas agreed on Is full capitulation of israel or something like that Israel would never agree to something like that

Hamas deal can not be recognized. As other 7 Oct-like attacks. As well as Hamas attempts to blame Israel for not accepting bizarre deals

I find it interesting that Hamas only accepted the deal the moment Israel began to start the operation and was giving civilians time to evacuate. They had plenty of time before. It reeks of bad faith

Is it just me or does that ceasefire deal sound kind've insulting?

This is sound like demand from losing side lol

Hamas have played their last game with the joke of a proposal. They don't seem to know or don't care that they are losing. They'd rather every Gazan die than surrender and/or give up power. This is par for the course with them.

I appreciate that you guys seem to have no political bias whatsoever, keeping it strictly to informative news. Very professional

And civillian children who will pay the price

Why quote "Siege of Gaza"? Is it not a siege?

I want a ceasefire but Israel is right-there is not much in this deal for them.

2:10 you forgot to mention that those 18 hostages are dead

Spelling errors are creeping in more often. Solider instead of soldier

Around 30k civilian deaths is the best case scenario if evacuation is impossible. Thats comparable to the battle of mosul. The thought of the Soviets not invading berlin to finish off the nazis because “wont somebody think of the poor civilians” would have been laughable.

You need to clarify what is Khan Yunis looks like? For Rafah, you can still has building as shelter from rain, wind, heat or cold. Plus, there is no existing Humanitarian center in Khan Yunis but probably new center at the flat destroyed place. Also, 1.5m people need to move from Rafah to Khan Yunis either by 'car', donkey/horse or walking. They need to walk for tens of kilometer on the uncertain safety road until they reach 'safer zone' in Khan Yunis. Gaza already at famine, it will be worst if they force to move to nowhere safe every single time the IDF order them to do evacuate.

Like Mosad Yousef said, " There is NO deal with the devil" And the audacity of Hamas to make demands after their Oct 7 massacre is appalling

My brain hurts trying to make sense of this. Time to watch cats

3:40 israel never exchanged dead prisoners. In international law this is actually prohibited to deal with the dead.
