The meeting was reportedly tense, with Wietcov showing signs of impatience toward Israel\u2019s stalling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2452\">Hamas confirmed receipt of the proposal via intermediaries, saying it is studying the plan responsibly to achieve its goals: relief for the people, and a permanent ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\" data-start=\"2454\" data-end=\"2658\">However, Israeli Channel 15, citing well-informed sources, said Hamas believes the U.S. has betrayed them, offering a plan that fully adopts Israeli demands without ensuring an end to the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\" data-start=\"2660\" data-end=\"2925\">The Israeli website Walla cited a senior official saying the proposal is more biased toward Israel than earlier ones and lacks U.S. guarantees for a lasting ceasefire. The plan doesn\u2019t specify whether the truce would continue beyond 60 days if talks fail.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-22\" data-start=\"2932\" data-end=\"2973\">Hamas Concerns and Strategic Gaps<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"3018\">Hamas reportedly feels the agreement would:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3188\">\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-24\" data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3076\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-25\" data-start=\"3021\" data-end=\"3076\">Return all hostages to Israel within the first week<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-26\" data-start=\"3077\" data-end=\"3114\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-27\" data-start=\"3079\" data-end=\"3114\">Provide no withdrawal from Gaza<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-28\" data-start=\"3115\" data-end=\"3188\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-29\" data-start=\"3117\" data-end=\"3188\">Offer no commitment to sustained humanitarian aid or reconstruction<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-30\" data-start=\"3190\" data-end=\"3487\">Political analyst Saeed Ziyad stated the plan represents a reversal from previous negotiation tracks, calling it Israel\u2019s counter-offer to Hamas-Wietcov understandings. He argued the deal is designed to strip Hamas of its leverage in the first week, then allow Israel to walk away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-31\" data-start=\"3489\" data-end=\"3674\">Channel 12 also reported that, contrary to public claims, the Wietcov plan does not define military redeployment lines or how humanitarian aid would be distributed during the truce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18119\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18119 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gaza Humanitarian aid\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Channel 12 also reported that, contrary to public claims, the Wietcov plan does not define military redeployment lines or how humanitarian aid would be distributed during the truce.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-32\" data-start=\"3681\" data-end=\"3720\">Opposition Support for the Deal<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-33\" data-start=\"3722\" data-end=\"3963\">Opposition leader Yair Lapid urged Israel to accept the Wietcov plan \u201copenly and immediately,\u201d pledging full political backing for Netanyahu to approve the deal\u2014even if ministers like Ben Gvir or Smotrich attempt to block it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-34\" data-start=\"3965\" data-end=\"4194\">Estimates suggest 58 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza, including 20 alive, while over 10,100 Palestinians remain in Israeli prisons\u2014many of whom, rights groups say, suffer from torture, starvation, and medical neglect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-35\" data-start=\"4196\" data-end=\"4404\">Hostage families blamed Netanyahu for prioritizing external political calculations over a comprehensive deal, criticizing the lack of a coherent war strategy in Gaza nearly 18 months into the assault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-The Israeli government has approved the new ceasefire proposal presented by U.S. envoy Steve Wietcov, while Hamas is still reviewing it.
