The conditions of the proposed ceasefire were unveiled by Trump; however, the US president said earlier that Tel Aviv was ready to end the war.
A ceasefire deal was inked before Trump's inauguration in January 2024, but it lasted for a few days before it broke out after Hamas and Israel accused each other of violating agreements on prisoner exchanges.
Local media said that Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer told US envoy Steve Witkoff that the country has accepted the proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal and is ready to start close talks with Hamas.

Not just Gaza: Netanyahu-Trump meeting set to impact the ntire Middle East
ALBAWABA - As U.S. President Donald Trump gets ready to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Monday, the Middle East is preparing for what officials are describing as a potentially historic statement. According to Israeli sources, the two presidents might announce a truce in Gaza in addition to more extensive regional agreements involving nearby Arab nations. The Washington Post reports that Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon called the meeting "extremely significant," highlighting its strategic importance for Gaza and the region at large. Danon emphasized that the proposed truce "is not a commitment to end the war," but Israeli authorities highlighted that it would enable flexibility to resume operations if necessary. The anticipated declaration is interpreted as a component of President Trump's redoubled efforts to achieve a significant diplomatic triumph in the Middle East. Alongside the ceasefire in Gaza, normalization agreements with Israel's neighbors are apparently being worked on. Significantly, Israel and Syria have discussed a peace agreement that Damascus calls a "non-aggression pact." Two major proposals are being considered to settle the Golan Heights dispute, which is the main barrier to a formal agreement, according to the Israeli channel iNews24. In one possibility, Syria would regain a third of the key plateau, Israel would keep a third, and the other portion would be leased for 25 years. According to the second scenario, Syria would either regain or lease the remaining one-third of the land, with Israel holding the other two-thirds. In the meantime, the US is putting pressure on Lebanon to think about signing a peace deal with Israel. Following the recent fighting, which made Hezbollah's hold weaker, the initiative gained momentum. Disarming the organization and giving the Lebanese army complete command of the entire nation, however, are still prerequisites for advancement. Redrawing borders and Israeli disengagement from southern lands would be part of the agreement, if it were accepted. Following U.S. raids on Iranian nuclear sites and a mediated ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Trump met with Netanyahu. Though divisive among some of Trump's base who oppose new military interventions, the U.S. President remains confident a broader agreement is within reach. Fresh off the Iran campaign, Netanyahu and Trump aim to lock in gains with a Gaza deal, new regional alliances, and legacy-defining diplomacy. Can they redraw the map in the Middle East? ✍️@HerbKeinon

"We are consulting with the Palestinian factions on the most recent offer from mediators in order to put an end to the Zionist aggression and guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of aid," the statement said.
