Hamas Conditions Gaza Prisoner Exchange on U.S. War-End Guarantee, Israeli Redeployment, 60-Day Ceasefire, and Aid Schedule

Hamas has set several conditions for accepting a prisoner exchange deal amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. According to Palestinian sources, Hamas insists that members of its political bureau must not be targeted or harmed abroad, and that its funds should not be confiscated or restricted internationally. The group also demands representation within Gaza's administration. A key stipulation from Hamas is the presence of an American guarantee to ensure a permanent end to the war in Gaza. Arab ministerial sources indicate that the Gaza agreement will include understandings on a plan for the Israeli army's redeployment as a precursor to its withdrawal. The deal will also establish a schedule for the delivery of aid into Gaza. Crucially, the agreement is expected to contain U.S. assurances preventing the resumption of hostilities during or after a 60-day ceasefire period. Reports confirm that mediators have secured American guarantees aimed at ensuring the conflict does not reignite following the ceasefire.
