If both sides agree to the proposal, “the war will immediately end,” according to the plan. Israeli forces will withdraw to agreed upon lines to prepare for the hostage release.
Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after the start of the war on October 7, 2023, the plan said.
