Hamas approves latest Gaza ceasefire proposal
A Hamas source told
Al Jazeera
: 'We informed the mediators of our approval of their proposal, which was presented yesterday.'
Mediators were expected to announce that an agreement had been reached and set a date for the resumption of talks. There has been no immediate response from the Israeli government about the development.
Hamas's announcement follows efforts by Qatar and Egypt to rekindle negotiations, which have so far failed to secure a lasting ceasefire in the war. 'El-Sisi and the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar stressed the importance of efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza,' according to a statement by the Egyptian presidency on Monday.
The two leaders 'affirmed their rejection of the reoccupation of the Gaza Strip and the displacement of Palestinians', it said. They also insisted that establishing a Palestinian state is 'the path to peace'.
Egypt, Qatar and the United States have been mediating between Israel and Hamas since the beginning of the war in Gaza, which has killed 62,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children.
