Saudi television channel Al-Hadath reported from sources that a "new proposal for the release of 10 hostages" and "two American hostage bodies" has been submitted to Hamas and Israel. According to the report, "the proposal includes American guarantees to continue a ceasefire for 60 days and allow aid delivery." It was noted that Israel and Hamas have not yet responded to the proposal. Meanwhile, senior Hamas officials told the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that "a new initiative is taking shape with the aim of reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza." Some sources indicated that Arab countries are involved in the contacts, "which aim to bring about a complete end to the war."
