A source familiar with the truce negotiations has revealed to CNN the detailed timeline for the proposed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, showing how the next two months could unfold if the deal is finalized.

Under the terms of the proposal:

- Day 1: 8 living Israeli hostages will be released.

- Day 7: The remains of 5 hostages will be handed over, followed by an Israeli troop withdrawal from agreed-upon positions in southern Gaza.

- Day 30: 5 more bodies will be returned.

- Day 50: 2 additional hostages will be freed.

- Day 60: The remains of 8 more hostages will be transferred to Israel

In exchange, Israel will release an undisclosed number of Palestinian prisoners and gradually withdraw from northern and southern areas of the Gaza Strip.

Conditions and Concessions

The deal includes a ban on Hamas holding public or televised hostage ceremonies, unlike during the previous truce in January, which triggered backlash in Israel. Humanitarian aid is expected to flow immediately, facilitated by international agencies including the United Nations.

Negotiations for a permanent ceasefire are scheduled to begin as soon as the truce takes effect. Israel is also expected to provide information on Palestinians detained since the war began, while Hamas will disclose the status of remaining Israeli hostages, including medical details.

Next Steps and Political Hurdles

The deal follows Hamas’s formal “positive response” and proposed amendments, which Israel is now studying. The Israeli cabinet is expected to meet to finalize its stance, and a delegation may be dispatched to resume mediated talks.

With U.S. backing and coordination by Egypt and Qatar, the truce plan could represent the most concrete step toward ending the nearly two-year war if both sides agree to the implementation mechanisms.
