Two-week ceasefire intended to allow Hamas disarmament, launch peace deal, sources tell 'Post'

Sources told The Post that a two-week ceasefire is being proposed to create a window for Hamas disarmament and to launch broader peace negotiations. The short truce is designed to reduce fighting quickly while negotiators work on a framework for security arrangements and political steps. Under the plan being discussed, both sides would coordinate access for monitors and begin preparations for subsequent talks on governance and long-term reconstruction. Sources said the proposal’s success depends on verification mechanisms, agreement on timelines, and whether hostilities resume during the disarmament process. Details of who would verify actions were not specified.
