Egypt offers plan for Hamas fighters in Rafah

Egypt has proposed a plan for approximately 200 Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels beneath the Israeli-held Rafah area of Gaza, as reported by Ynet and Ma’an. The proposal involves the fighters surrendering their weapons and providing information on tunnel locations in exchange for safe passage into Hamas-controlled areas. Both Israel and Hamas have been informed of the offer, but negotiations are ongoing with no approval yet. Communication with the fighters has been lost since March, and ensuring their exit may help maintain the ceasefire.
