| Maher al-Taher |
The head of international relations of the PFLP, Maher Al-Taher, was apparently there and revealed these details about the Israeli offer, which - if true - appears to be way more generous than one would think:
First: a two-week calm, which can be extended for several more days.
Second: A deal to exchange civilian prisoners held by the resistance in Gaza along with female captive soldiers, in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners to be agreed upon later.
Third: Israeli withdrawal from some areas of the Gaza Strip, and maintaining a barrier separating the north of the Strip from its south, with a security belt in the northern regions.
Fourth: Introducing relief aid, details not specified.
Fifth: The return of residents to the northern Gaza Strip and allowing relief and humanitarian institutions to set up tents and provide services.
Sixth: The release of key prisoners, including the Secretary-General of the PFLP, Ahmad Saadat, and a member of the Fatah Central Committee, Marwan Barghouti. Barghouti is the murderer who is by far the most popular Palestinian public figure; he would win any election if held today. Saadat headed the PFLP during some of the worst terror attacks and was directly involved in the assassination of Minister Rehavam Ze'evi.
Seventh: Preparing for the second stage, negotiating for all the prisoners, and withdrawing from Gaza later.
Hamas rejected the proposal completely, claiming that it will only accept full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a permanent ceasefire, all prisoners for all hostages - essentially, full victory.
