​Israel insists on disarming Hamas as a precondition to its acceptance of Egypt's six-month Gaza truce proposal, well-informed Egyptian sources told Xinhua on Tuesday.

哈马斯（Hamas）一名官员周六（26日）表示，已准备在更广泛的协议框架下，释放目前被关押在加沙的人质。该官员透露，哈马斯提议达成一项为期5年的停火协议，以求未来能够实现持续更长久的停火。

人质问题始终是加萨冲突中的主要争议焦点，哈玛斯曾于2月10日宣布，由于以色列违反停火协议，将暂停释放人质行动。对此以色列国防部长卡兹（Israel Katz）回应称，哈玛斯已违反停火协议，并指示军方在加萨地区提高战备等级，以保护以色列社区。
