Hamas has agreed to U.S. special envoy Steve Whitcoff‘s proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, a Palestinian official close to the organization told Reuters on Monday, paving the way for a possible end to the war.

The new proposal, which calls for the release of 10 hostages and a 70-day ceasefire, was delivered to Hamas through mediators.

The proposal includes “the release of ten living Israeli hostages held by Hamas in two groups in exchange for 70 days of ceasefire and a partial withdrawal of troops from the Gaza Strip,” the source said.
