20-day.


This is coolbert:

Hostage swap and cease-fire for 20 days in Gaza? A proposal that has been broached, and presumably in some manner been agreed-upon?

Let me state that I will believe it when I see it and no sooner than that.

"IDF Spokesperson declares massive IDF strikes on Hezbollah, Sinwar ready for hostage deal"

"Rear Admiral Hagari says that after recent IDF strikes in southern Lebanon, the layout of the land 'bears little resemblance to its state on October 6'; Al-Arabiya reports Sinwar agrees to hostage-prisoner swap deal that includes 20 days of ceasefire, deal organized by Egypt and Qatar"

From Ynet corresponents | 12/29/23.

[....]

"The Saudi television network Al-Arabiya reported, citing sources, that Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, will accept the Egyptian-Qatari initiative for a prisoner exchange. The initiative stipulates the release of Israeli captives in exchange for the release of prisoners from Israeli prisons and a 20-day ceasefire."

The agreement or plan has only come about because of a massive Israeli Air Force bombardment of South Lebanon presumably against Hezbollah fighting positions and targets? The greatly feared second front no longer can materialize?
