Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal presented by international mediators, a source from the group told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Monday.
The agreement reportedly includes the release of hostages and a 70-day halt to fighting in the Gaza Strip.
According to AFP, the deal involves the release of 10 hostages in two separate batches. In return, Israel would pause its military operations in Gaza for 70 days, allowing time for further negotiations aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire and initiating reconstruction efforts.
The announcement comes amid growing international pressure to end the months-long conflict, which has devastated much of Gaza and led to high casualties on both sides. Efforts to secure a ceasefire have intensified in recent weeks, with humanitarian agencies warning of worsening conditions on the ground.
