A Hamas official has confirmed that a ceasefire agreement has been reached.
Another official, informed about the agreement, has also confirmed the information.
It is noted that the agreement includes a six-week initial phase of the ceasefire, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, the release of hostages held by Hamas, and the release of Palestinian hostages held by Israel.
It is important to note that no official statements have been made on this matter yet.
Agreement between Israel and Hamas
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas on a ceasefire and the release of hostages have been at a standstill for several months, despite efforts by US President Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, US President-elect Donald Trump warned that "all hell to pay in the Middle East" if the hostages are not released before his inauguration on January 20.
Yesterday, it was reported that Hamas supported a draft agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages.
Today, media reports stated that a declaration on the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip is expected soon. Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar has approved the ceasefire agreement.
