Hamas accepts Gaza ceasefire plan proposed by Witkoff
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has accepted the Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Hamas has agreed to a proposal presented by U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff for a ceasefire in Gaza that will halt hostilities in the Strip, a source close to Hamas told Xinhua on Monday, News.Az reports.
Reuters quoted an unnamed Palestinian official who claimed that Hamas had accepted a proposal from Witkoff.
According to the Times of Israel, the deal being discussed would see around 10 living hostages and 10 bodies of hostages, along with hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners, released in two stages during a roughly two-month ceasefire. During that time, Israel and Hamas would hold negotiations on the terms of a permanent truce, with the US providing guarantees that it will keep Israel at the table. Israel refused to engage in those talks in the previous deal signed in January, leading to its collapse in March, according to Israeli regime's media.
