Sky News Arabia's correspondent in Jerusalem revealed the most important points included in the "Paris Document", which discusses a truce agreement in Gaza.

Talks took place in Paris, on Sunday, between the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns, and senior officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Israel, to discuss a truce agreement in the Gaza war, according to sources close to the participants in these meetings.

Israeli sources reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed in principle to the framework of the proposed agreement, while Hamas expressed its openness but has not yet provided a final response.

A Sky News Arabia correspondent revealed, on Tuesday, the most important points included in the Paris Document:

The deal is partial in order to avoid the main point of contention, which is Hamas’s demand for a complete ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal.

The deal has two other stages that follow the partial stage, but they were left without many details so as not to constitute an obstacle, or the first stage, provided that the next steps are negotiated during the ceasefire period.

The first stage is an exchange deal that includes what Israel calls humanitarian cases among the detainees, whose numbers range from 35 to 40 (this category includes the remaining women, children, elderly men over the age of sixty, the wounded, and those suffering from a serious health condition).

These will be replaced with Palestinian prisoners according to a ratio of 1 for 100 prisoners, and the ratio may rise to 1 for 250 (this item is negotiable between the two parties).

The Palestinian prisoners in question are those with high sentences (what Israel calls prisoners whose hands are stained with blood).

The deal also includes a temporary truce for a month and a half (and depending on the date of concluding the deal in February, the truce period may include the entire month of Ramadan).

The deal includes the redeployment of the Israeli army inside the Gaza Strip, the withdrawal of the army from some areas, and the repositioning inside the Gaza Strip.

Waiting for Hamas

Reuters quoted the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, as saying, on Tuesday, that the movement had received Paris’s proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and would study it.

The head of the movement’s political bureau stressed that the priority is ending the Israeli military attack and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Haniyeh said that he would visit Cairo to discuss the Paris proposal, according to what Reuters reported
