Egypt has received “positive signs” from Hamas over a proposed Gaza truce and hostage release deal, the state-linked Al-Qahera News reports, citing a high-level source.

“Hamas leaders have informed us that they are studying the truce proposal seriously and positively,” it quotes the unnamed source as saying, adding that Hamas is expected to provide a response “in the coming days.”

Earlier a Saudi report said that Hamas had rejected the truce proposal.
