Hamas has reportedly accepted a ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, according to Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera. The proposal aims to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza.
The news of Hamas accepting the ceasefire proposal was confirmed by a leading Hamas official to the mediators from Egypt and Qatar. However, there has been no immediate comment from Hamas itself regarding this development.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been escalating in recent days, with both sides exchanging airstrikes and rocket attacks. The violence has resulted in numerous casualties and widespread destruction in Gaza.
The acceptance of the ceasefire proposal by Hamas is seen as a positive step towards de-escalating the situation and preventing further loss of life. It is hoped that the ceasefire will provide an opportunity for diplomatic efforts to resolve the underlying issues and bring about a lasting peace in the region.
The international community has been closely monitoring the situation and has been calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further escalation of the conflict. The acceptance of the proposal by Hamas is a significant development in the efforts to bring an end to the violence and restore calm in the region.
