MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Leaders of Palestinian movement Hamas are discussing possible concessions they could make if Israel showed a genuine interest in ending the war and withdrawing from the Gaza Strip, the New York Times newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Hamas believes that Israel is demanding total surrender, which the movement continues to reject, the newspaper reported. One of Hamas' proposals could reportedly allow Israel to maintain a presence in the border region between Egypt and Gaza, also known as the Philadelphi Corridor. However, the movement's officials have publicly rejected any long-term Israeli control over the area.
