Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire proposal put forward by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, according to a Palestinian official close to the group. The proposal, conveyed through mediators, includes the release of ten Israeli hostages in two phases in exchange for a 70-day ceasefire and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
According to the official, the arrangement also involves the release of several Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, including those serving long sentences. There has been no immediate response from Israeli authorities regarding the proposal.
This development comes amid ongoing tensions and recent Israeli airstrikes, underscoring the fragile situation in the region.
