As per the proposal put forward by Qatar, the women hostages will be released first by Hamas in return for Palestinian prisoners in Israel jails.

Sources said that Egypt has put forward a proposal for permanent ceasefire and post-war Gaza administration. “However, the Israelis are not willing for a permanent truce,” the sources said.
