Israeli leaders have proposed a cease-fire of up to two months in exchange for the release of all the hostages in Gaza, officials said Monday.

After heated meetings over the Israel-Hamas conflict and hostage situation, the Jewish country’s war cabinet approved a new plan coordinated with Qatari and Egyptian negotiators that could see the more than 130 hostages held by Hamas released, two Israeli officials close to the talks told Axios.

The hostage deal would see all the women and men who are over 60 years old and who are in critical condition or have severe health problems released first.

The next phase would free the hostages who are not affiliated with the Israel Defense Forces. After that, Hamas would release Israeli soldiers, as well as the bodies of hostages who died while in captivity, the officials said.

In exchange for freeing the hostages, Israeli officials would agree to release Palestinian prisoners in its jails, with separate negotiations scheduled on who would be allowed to walk free.

In previous deals brokered by Qatar, Israel agreed to free three prisoners for every hostage released.

But major hurdles remain to seal the deal.

The proposed plan emphasizes that the cease-fire would be only temporary, with the IDF set to be deployed away from the Gaza Strip’s largest cities so as to allow Palestinians to return to their homes.

Once the exchange is complete, the war will resume, the Israeli officials said.

Hamas has previously said the hostages would not be released until the war completely ends and the IDF exits the Palestinian enclave.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement over the weekend reiterating that Israel would not end the war in Gaza in exchange for a hostage release.

The terrorist leader said that “means there is no chance for the return of the [Israeli] captives.”

The new proposal also rejects the possibility of releasing all Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the hostages, a condition Hamas leaders have said would be critical to accepting any deal.

Khaled Mashal — a key figure helping to run the terror organization from Qatar — has only further cast doubt on any hopes for peace.

The senior Hamas official said earlier this month in a newly surfaced video that Hamas’s goal remains to wipe out Israel — saying the Oct. 7 massacre was just the first step and that the war will only end when the terror group wins.

“It is not something [merely] to be expected or hoped for. It is part of the plan, part of the agenda, and we are standing on its threshold, Allah willing,” Mashal told Kuwaiti podcaster Amar Taki.

Israel’s latest proposed plan would amount to the longest cease-fire in the war since the 10-day truce back in November.

The temporary November pact saw more than 100 hostages released, but since then, negotiations have continued to fall through, much to the anger of the family of the captives.

Israel estimates that around 132 hostages remain in Gaza, 27 of whom are believed to be dead.

Netanyahu on Monday assured the families of those still held captive that the latest proposal has been sent and that it was initiated by Israel and not Hamas, according to local Channel 12.

He has been facing harsh criticism and mounting pressure from the families to move a deal forward as their loved ones have now been in Gaza for more than three months.
