Jordan has proposed expelling 3,000 military and political operatives of Hamas from the Gaza Strip, the Middle East Eye reported on Sunday, citing US and Palestinian sources briefed on the matter.
The plan reportedly calls for further disarmament of Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza, paving a way for the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority to assume control of the embattled enclave.
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas collapsed earlier this month, with both sides accusing each other of stalling the negotiations that would have led to the implementation of the second phase of the truce.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) resumed airstrikes in Gaza on March 18 and have since reoccupied strategic areas in the central part of the strip.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened with the annexation of parts of the Palestinian enclave if Hamas does not release the remaining hostages.
