Israel is studying Hamas' response to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and release of half the hostages still held in Gaza, two Israeli officials said, although one source reiterated that all Israeli captives must be freed for the war to end.

Hamas says it has accepted a proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the 22-month war sparked by its Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel. Israel has not yet responded and says it is still committed to defeating the militant group.

Hamas has endorsed a new proposal for a ceasefire deal with Israel in Gaza, as it faces pressure from Arab countries and seeks to ensure its own survival.

The proposition the militant group said it agreed to was nearly the same as one that had been offered by Israel last month.

It was unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was on board with the terms, which came as Qatar and Egypt were intensifying mediation efforts.

Hamas accepted the latest proposal for a Gaza ceasefire amid urging from Arab officials and other Palestinian factions, which want to avert Israeli escalation.

In an exclusive interview with One America News, PM Netanyahu discusses the Gaza war, the propaganda against Israel, and his strong alliance with President Donald Trump, emphasizing that Hamas starves hostages.
