The New York Times reported today (Saturday) that high-level officials from 10 countries are seeking to formulate a set of proposals to end the war in the Gaza Strip and manage the Strip afterwards.

The newspaper said that officials’ discussions focus on reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which will include the release of more than 100 Israeli detainees held by Hamas in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

The newspaper explained that it based its report on interviews with more than 10 diplomats and other officials participating in the talks, all of whom spoke without revealing their identities, according to the Arab World News Agency.

The newspaper added that the discussions address the restructuring of the Palestinian Authority, as officials from the ten countries discuss the transfer of power from current President Mahmoud Abbas to a new prime minister, while allowing Abbas to retain a “ceremonial role.”

According to the New York Times, officials are considering “many ideas, most of which are temporary, long-term, or strongly opposed by some parties,” including sending an Arab peacekeeping force to Gaza to support the presence of “a new Palestinian administration there.”
