In an interview published Saturday, Einat Halevy Levin said Julia Nesheiwat recalled her to Washington shortly after she had returned to Israel and showed her an early regional Gaza plan. She described a draft with roughly 20 or 21 provisions, including returning all hostages, ending the war and disarming Hamas rather than eliminating it. According to her account, the proposal envisaged a regional peace council involving Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey and Egypt. Halevy Levin said Nesheiwat asked how the proposal could gain acceptance among Israeli politicians and the public.
