This proposal, which has been conveyed to Hamas, aims to reach an agreement for a prisoner exchange and a temporary ceasefire.

The Corporation, citing Israeli officials, reported: "The security establishment and the majority of the political level endorsed the deal, according to the Egyptian plan that entails the release of between 20 to 40 Israeli captives in exchange for a ceasefire lasting a day or slightly more for each hostage released."

Netanyahu does not favor a partial agreement, the report said, highlighting his preference for a comprehensive deal that would see all detainees released. However, an official told the Corporation, "Reaching a comprehensive agreement is not on the table, partly because Hamas demands an end to the war in exchange, a condition Israel opposes."

A source familiar with the details suggested that an agreement could be reached "within days, despite Netanyahu's reservations."

The report also mentioned that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has decided to move up his visit to Israel to Tuesday, originally scheduled for the end of the week.

Informed sources indicated that the United States objects to Israel's military operations in Rafah, as it could significantly hamper the chances of achieving a ceasefire and reaching an agreement for the release of detainees.

Meanwhile, the security establishment expressed its concerns regarding the potential release of hostages if Israel were to launch an operation in Rafah.

A security official said to the Broadcasting Corporation, "This is the last chance... Either the captives return in a deal that delays entry into Rafah, or we enter the war in Rafah, leaving it to Hamas just as we left the north and center of the Gaza Strip."

Earlier, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatened to bring down the government if Israel agrees to the deal according to the Egyptian plan. Smotrich stated on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), "The deal represents a dangerous Israeli surrender and a terrible victory for Hamas."

Previously, a high-level security source told the Arab World News Agency that Egypt is directly engaging with the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, aiming for "quick understandings" regarding Cairo's new proposal for a ceasefire.

The source revealed that Egypt's next step in its intensified efforts involves direct communication with Hamas leadership to discuss details concerning the newly proposed Egyptian document.

Hamas has also indicated its openness to any proposals that entail a definitive halt to the "aggression" and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
