After months of negotiation, Hamas says it has accepted a cease-fire proposal from Egypt and Qatar to halt the fighting in Gaza.
The announcement comes just hours after the Israeli military ordered some 100,000 people to leave Rafah, the southern Gaza city where Hamas has its last stronghold, in the latest sign that a ground offensive may be imminent.
Under the plan, 33 Palestinian prisoners would be released per one Israeli hostage over three phases, in exchange for a “permanent” cease-fire, according to a senior Arab source familiar with the proposal.
Israel's war cabinet has unanimously decided to proceed with the operation in Rafah, but a delegation will be sent to continue the cease-fire talks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said
Last week, Netanyahu vowed to launch an offensive into Rafah “with or without a deal.”
