Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya says in a speech that Hamas received a new proposal from Egyptian mediators two days ago and agreed to it.

He adds that he hopes Israel will not sabotage it.

Al-Hayya’s statement follows media reports claiming that the terror group agreed to release five Israeli hostages in exchange for 50 days of ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Earlier today, the Prime Minister’s Office stated that Israel had submitted a counterproposal to the one presented by the mediators.
