Hamas seeks 'end to military operations' in three-staged ceasefire plan: Reports 

Hamas is proposing an "end to military operations" in Gaza as part of a three-staged ceasefire plan that would also see the exchange of Israeli and Palestinian prisoners, according to a reported draft document by the group.  

The proposal, which was seen and reported by Reuters and the Lebanese Al Akhbar daily, also includes an agreement to secure the reconstruction of Gaza, end the siege and ensure the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces. 

The document was sent to Egyptian and Qatari mediators on Tuesday night in response to a ceasefire proposal drafted in Paris by Israel, the US, Egypt and Qatar late last month.
