In the first phase, fighting would stop for about 30 days while women, elderly and wounded hostages were released by Hamas. During that period, the two sides would work out details of a second phase that would suspend military operations for roughly another 30 days in exchange for Israeli soldiers and MALE civilians being held.
What about the Israeli soldiers that are women and that Hamas has previously made clear they wish to keep?
