Hamas source says terror group agreed to ceasefire proposal presented to it yesterday by mediators

A Hamas source tells the Qatari channel Al Jazeera that Hamas informed mediators it accepted the ceasefire-hostage release deal proposal submitted to it yesterday.

According to an earlier report on the Qatari channel Al Arabi, this was a revised version of Hamas’s latest response in the negotiation round, which dealt with a framework agreement for a 60-day ceasefire.

However, the Saudi channel Al Arabiya reported that the proposal represents a compromise between a full ceasefire — meaning an end to the war — and a temporary truce, which includes the release of hostages and a gradual withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza.

The Saudi channel Al-Hadath reported, citing a Palestinian source, that Hamas agreed to the proposal submitted by the mediators without any comments.
