Egypt's Gaza temporary truce proposal suggests prisoner swap, seeking to explore the potential for a long-term peace agreement.
Egypt has proposed a Gaza ceasefire to facilitate a potential exchange of prisoners, aiming to build towards a longer-term truce, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi announced Sunday.
The Algerian president voiced strong support for Egypt’s initiative, backing Sisi’s efforts to establish calm in the Palestinian enclave. Efforts led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar to secure a ceasefire and facilitate a prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas have so far stalled, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refusing to consider ending the conflict.The Israeli army has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since a Hamas attack last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.
