Hamas has informed mediating countries that it has approved a draft agreement that includes, among other measures, the start of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages. The news was reported by the Qatari daily Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, which quoted a source close to the negotiations, who stressed that the organisation had held meetings and discussions with officials from Qatar, Egypt, Turkey and other Palestinian factions before reaching this decision. Hamas also confirmed that the negotiations with Israel had reached the ‘final stages’ and that the leaders of the Palestinian factions were satisfied with the progress.
For its part, an Israeli official told CNN that Israel is ready for a ceasefire, saying that all necessary compromises have been reached and that the ball is now in Hamas’ court.
