British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says proposal includes a 40-day ceasefire and the release of captives.
The United States and the United Kingdom have urged Hamas to accept an Israeli proposal for a truce in the Gaza war and the release of some hostages held in the besieged territory.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Monday that the Israeli proposal delivered to Hamas includes a 40-day ceasefire in the Gaza war and the release of “potentially thousands” of Palestinian prisoners in return for the release of some Israeli hostages.
Speaking on Monday at a World Economic Forum meeting in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Cameron described the offer as “generous”.
“I hope Hamas accepts the proposal in front of them,” he said, and stressed that the war would not end until all the captives are released.
Earlier on Monday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he hoped that Hamas would accept the proposal.
