Report: Hamas agrees to ceasefire with Israel
The Hamas terror group has informed Hezbollah that it agrees to a ceasefire with Israel from tomorrow, according to Lebanese media.
The unsourced report comes after Al-Jazeera and the BBC say Israel has told Egyptian mediators it supports a truce in Gaza.
The reports are not confirmed by either side.
And Channel 12 reports that Hamas has hardened its bargaining position in recent hours, demanding Israel partake in the rehabilitation of the Strip from the airstrike damage and issuing demands on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem that Israel won’t meet.
