All the remaining hostages in Gaza will be released in exchange for greater aid and free passage for Hamas leaders and their families, a report has claimed.
Moti Kahana, an American-Israeli entrepreneur, is working on an 'extraordinary plan' to secure all hostages in the Gaza Strip, as well the bodies of fallen Israeli soldiers that have been held by the terrorist group since 2014, Jewish News reported.
The two-stage plan allegedly involves sending medical supplies, baby and hygiene provisions to Gaza for 'civilian use'. It would also allow 'Hamas leaders in Gaza, not those involved in the slaughter of Israelis' to leave the Strip.
In exchange, the plan - which Kahana is reportedly devising in partnership with the White House, a well-known seasoned American negotiator, France, and a Syrian adviser to Kahana's company - would require Hamas to release all foreign and dual nationality hostages.
The Israeli government has denied knowledge of the alleged plan, telling the newspaper that it 'sounds like Hamas propaganda stemming from the pressure they are under'.

Kahana's plan will allegedly secure the release of all remaining hostages, the presumed bodies of two Israeli soldiers held by Hamas since 2014, and two other Israelis who were taken prisoner in Gaza.
Specific details surrounding the plan are set to be 'hammered out' with Hamas leaders in Qatar, according to Jewish News. A timeframe for these discussions was not revealed.
But Kahana has claimed that there is currently £16million worth of supplies in an American warehouse that will be shipped to Egypt when the plan moves forward.
The entrepreneur has also said the phase of the plan that would allow Hamas leaders to leave the Strip does not apply to 'anyone who was involved on October 7, who crossed the border into Israel and took part in the massacre, and has blood on his hands'.
Kahana claims both Israel and the US have lists of those who would be eligible to leave Gaza and alleges 'strict control will be exercised' to ensure terrorists involved in the attack or holding of hostages cannot leave.
The plan, which has not been independently verified by MailOnline, reportedly envisages Hamas leaders leaving Gaza via Egypt or along the shoreline by boat.

News of the alleged plan comes as Israel has vowed again to destroy Hamas, rejecting calls from the United Nations chief, the Palestinians, and many countries at a high-level UN meeting for a ceasefire, and declaring that the war in Gaza is not only its war but 'the war of the free world'.
Israeli Foreign minister Eli Cohen also dismissed calls for 'proportionality' in the country's response to Hamas's surprise attacks on Israel on October 7 - which killed 1,400 people and has since led to more than 5,700 Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip, according to its Health Ministry.
'Tell me, what is a proportionate response for killing of babies, for rape (of) women and burn them, for beheading a child?' he asked. 'How can you agree to a ceasefire with someone who swore to kill and destroy your own existence?'
He told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that the proportionate response to the October 7 massacre is 'a total destruction to the last one of the Hamas', calling the extremist group 'the new Nazis'.
He added: 'It is not only Israel's right to destroy Hamas. It's our duty.'
Mr Cohen called the Hamas attacks 'a wake-up call for the entire free world' against extremism, and he urged 'the civilised world to stand united behind Israel to defeat Hamas'.
He warned that today it is Israel, and tomorrow Hamas and the attackers 'will be at everyone's doorstep', starting with the West.
Mr Cohen accused Qatar of financing Hamas and said the fate of the more than 200 hostages taken from Israel, some of whose families came to the UN meeting, was in the hands of its emir.
