Hamas has agreed to a new ceasefire proposal put forward by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, according to a Palestinian official familiar with the group. The plan could lead to a possible end to the fighting in Gaza.

The proposal, shared with Hamas through mediators, includes a 70-day ceasefire and the release of 10 Israeli hostages in two separate groups.

In return, Israel would agree to a partial withdrawal from parts of the Gaza Strip and release several Palestinian prisoners, including hundreds serving long prison sentences.

So far, Israel has not officially responded to the proposal.
