Qatar has proposed a new deal to end Israel’s offensive on the Gaza Strip and formulated a Palestinian consensus government, a Palestinian source said on Friday.

Such consensus government would not directly involve the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), according to the source.

The source said, on condition of anonymity, that Doha has presented the proposal to Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.

It also involved influential Arab and international entities on the Palestinian issue.

In the proposal, Qatar suggests a permanent ceasefire to pave the way for an extensive prisoner exchange. This is to resolve issue of hostages held in Gaza, the source said.

The proposal seeks to provide guarantees against the recurrence of Oct. 7 and aims at securing a sustainable ceasefire, it added.

So far, Israel has not made any official response to the proposal, said the source.

Meanwhile, Hamas leader, Mahmoud Mardawi, confirmed that the group is open to all initiatives and efforts aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza.

Mardawi said any talk that exclude a permanent ceasefire or a halt to displace Gaza residents is not suitable and non-negotiable.

He reiterated that ending the aggression on Gaza and ensuring a complete ceasefire is the premise of negotiations regarding other issues, including a prisoner exchange plan.

So far, the basic Palestinian demands for a permanent ceasefire to resume negotiations have not been met.

But communications are ongoing with all parties, especially with Egypt and Qatar, Mardawi said. (Xinhua)
