frank gardner has more on the deal from jerusalem. frank: i can now give you some detail on what we think the hamas proposal or terms are. this is something that comes to us from a statement which my colleagues have translated. the gist of it is the deal with hamas is prepared to agree to is three consecutive 42-day truces, during which there would be in exchange of hostages and prisoners. 33 hostages, dead and alive, would be released from gaza, from hamas captivity in gaza. and a number of palestinian prisoners would come out of israeli jails. these 42 periods of truce would be consecutive. one after another. the sticking point may well still be how does this end? because hamas wants a commitment that at the end of all of this process, that they are not going to be attacked again. that there will be an end to it. the israelis say this will be a one sided cease-fire. that if they agree to that, that hamas will continue lobbing rockets at them the next few months after that. this has now got to get through the israeli cabinet, but the
