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.

Paramount settles Trump lawsuit over Harris interview for $16 million
Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump alleged the October 2024 broadcast was deceptively edited to favor Democrats during the election. The settlement, earmarked for Trump's presidential library, comes as Paramount seeks approval for its $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media. It includes no admission of wrongdoing or apology from the company. Trump had initially sought $10 billion in damages, later raising the claim to $20 billion. The FCC, which oversees broadcast licenses, is currently reviewing the merger deal, and one commissioner warned the settlement could set a dangerous precedent for press freedom. The lawsuit was among several recent cases Trump filed against major media outlets, including ABC News and Meta, both of which also reached settlements. Critics, including several US senators, condemned Paramount's move as a capitulation that could embolden future attacks on the press.
