Israel is demanding the release of all 50 hostages held in Gaza.

The request comes amid concerns on whether Israel will accept a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that Hamas agreed to on Monday.

The proposal, put forward by Qatar and Egypt, would see the release of around half the hostages.

According to Qatar, it’s almost identical to a US proposal Israel had previously accepted.

Palestinian sources said the proposal would see 10 living and 18 dead hostages handed over while the sides negotiated a permanent ceasefire and the return of the other hostages.

Israel believes that only 20 of the 50 hostages are still alive after 22 months of war.
