Hamas Demands to Israel Before Letting Go Hostages

Hamas's Demands Are Unreasonable for Israel

The Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper, often used as a mouthpiece promoting the interests of Hamas and Hezbollah, published this morning the text of Hamas' deal proposal, as provided to the mediators.

The main points of the proposal in brief:

1. The cessation of military activity in preparation for the complete cessation and the withdrawal of IDF forces to the surrounding areas.
2. Hudna of 135 days in three stages of 45 days each, during which all the Israeli abductees and the bodies of the Israelis in the Gaza Strip will be released in exchange for the Palestinian prisoners and bodies held by Israel.
3. Preventing Jews from entering the Temple Mount and returning the situation on the Mount to what it was before 2002.
4. The restoration of the Gaza Strip and international guarantees.

And now for the details according to the three stages of the Hamas Demands

The first stage (45 days) - Hamas requirements and conditions for this stage:

1. A complete (and mutual) cessation of military activity in the Strip, including air activity.
2. Withdrawal of IDF forces from the inhabited areas in the Gaza Strip to the borderline (with Israel, as it was on October 6th -AA).
3. The release of all Israeli abductees under the age of 19 (who are not soldiers), as well as the elderly and the sick whose names were previously agreed upon (referring to the hudna agreement of November -AA) in exchange for the release of all the Palestinian prisoners imprisoned in Israel who are younger than 19 or older than 50, as well as the sick among them, in addition to 1,500 Palestinian prisoners named by Hamas, of which 500 are serving life sentences.
4. Completing the necessary steps to ensure that the prisoners who were released for the offenses for which they were imprisoned are not re-arrested. 
5. Improving the conditions of the remaining Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons and removing the restrictions imposed on them since October 7.
6. Preventing Jews from entering Al-Aqsa (the entire Temple Mount square) and restoring the situation to what it was before 2002.
7. Introducing 500 aid trucks daily into the Strip, including fuel.
8. All the displaced people were returned to their homes all over the Strip without movement restrictions.
9. The opening of all Gaza crossings for the movement of people and goods without restrictions, including the departure of men, women, and children for treatment outside the Gaza Strip without any limits.
10. Supply heavy engineering equipment for clearing rubble, civil defense equipment, and Ministry of Health equipment.
11. The rehabilitation of the hospitals and bakeries in the entire strip.
12. Bring in all the equipment needed to set up residential camps, including 60 thousand temporary residential buildings (trailers and containers), at a rate of 15 thousand per week.
13. The introduction of 200,000 tents at a rate of 50,000 per week.
14. The beginning of infrastructure restoration all over the Strip, including water, electricity, and communication infrastructures.
15. Approval of a comprehensive plan for rehabilitating all the residential, commercial, and public buildings that were destroyed due to the fighting within a practical schedule of three years.
16.  Renewal of all the humanitarian aid provided to the residents of the Gaza Strip and especially the functioning of UNRWA - as before October 7.
17. Supplying the diesel needed to operate the power plant in Gaza and required for all sectors in the Gaza Strip.
18. Israel must be forced to meet the needs of the Gaza Strip in the area of electricity and water.
19. The beginning of the indirect talks reached an utterly calm agreement.

The exchange of prisoners will be closely related to the degree of implementation of the aid income.

Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Russia, and the United Nations will guarantee the implementation of this agreement.

These are Hamas' demands for the first stage. This does not include two and three demands.

Would America make such an agreement if we were attacked, hostages were taken, and many Americans died? I doubt so. After 9/11, we did not negotiate but went in to go after the enemy. In Iraq alone, over 750,000 civilians were killed. We went after Al Queda in Afghanistan and other places.
