According to a report by middle east eye, Hamas seeks not only a complete end to the war, but a future where Gaza is liberated from the blockade Israel has imposed on the coastal enclave for the past 16 years.
“The problem is, I think, that we have a strategy, and the strategy that we negotiate through is the strategy of a ceasefire, and not the strategy of a hostage exchange,” says Hamas official Basem Naim.
Middle East Eye has obtained the latest proposal passed by Hamas to Israel via Egyptian and Qatari mediators.

Like those presented to Hamas since a summit in Paris in January, it suggests winding down the war in three phases.
But whereas proposals given to Hamas have three truce periods that would, in theory, progress towards an end to the conflict, the Palestinian movement is seeking something more concrete.
In Hamas’s framework, phase one would see a “temporary cessation of hostilities” and the return of Palestinians to residential areas of northern Gaza.
The second phase would start with a permanent ceasefire taking effect and Israeli troops withdrawing from the Gaza Strip completely.
In phase three, Israel totally lifts the blockade it has imposed on Gaza since 2007 and a five-year reconstruction plan begins.

The document also suggests a framework for exchanging prisoners and says the guarantors of the agreement should include Turkey and Russia.
This, Naim says, is because the negotiations are tilted too much in Israel’s favour when led by the United States, which has heavily backed Israel during the war.
“At the end of the day, the Americans are not guarantors nor are they mediators. They are an oppositional player, they are an enemy,” he tells MEE.
Hamas says the Israelis should withdraw from densely populated areas in stages. First, the Israelis would head east of the al-Rasheed Road that runs down the coast, “allowing free movement of the local population”.
After 14 days, Israeli soldiers should then move east of the parallel Salah al-Din Road and deploy along Gaza’s boundary with Israel, so displaced Palestinians can reach other areas of the north.
In recent weeks, the Cairo talks have focused heavily on the return of displaced Palestinians to the north.
