An Israeli official tells The Times of Israel that an Al Arabiya report claiming that Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire agreement is false.

Hamas’s Al Aqsa TV channel also denies the report, saying that the group is still reviewing the US proposal.

Citing unnamed sources, the Al Arabiya report claimed that the temporary truce would last 60 days and that US President Donald Trump would announce it later today.

There are no indications that the report is accurate.
