Hamas** said it sought a "complete ceasefire" rather than a "temporary truce."
Tahir Nunu, an adviser to Hamas**, said on January 29 local time that after Qatar said it was proposing a framework for a temporary ceasefire, Hamas hopes to achieve a "complete and comprehensive ceasefire" in Gaza, rather than a "temporary truce", and once the fighting stops, the rest of the details can be discussed, including the release of detainees.
Earlier in the day, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman said that the head of the US intelligence department, William Burns, and the top security forces of Israel and Egypt, had reached an agreement on a phased truce at a meeting in Paris. Mohammed confirmed that under the agreement, the detained women and children will be released first and aid will also enter the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel said it agreed to the agreement on the release of the detainees.
Israel agreed to a 45-day truce in exchange for the release of 35 Israeli detainees, according to Israel's Channel 12 television station. For every return of an Israeli, some 100 to 250 Palestinian detainees are reportedly released.
The Times of Israel quoted a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office as saying that Israel did not deny agreeing to the agreement to release the detainees, but said that "previous reports about the agreement were inaccurate because it included conditions that were unacceptable to Israel."
