GAZA STRIP, JUL 5 – Hamas's positive reply to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire includes a 60-day truce with phased hostage releases and talks on ending the 21-month conflict, officials said.

  • Hamas submitted a positive response late Friday to a U.S.-proposed 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, marking a major step towards a truce.
  • The ceasefire proposal originated from U.S. President Donald Trump to pause nearly 21 months of war following Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
  • Hamas expressed readiness to negotiate implementation details while Israel agreed on terms, with further talks needed on troop withdrawals and aid delivery.
  • Trump stated that Israel has accepted the ceasefire proposal and encouraged Hamas to do the same, while a source expressed optimism about the progress of peace negotiations.
  • If realized, the ceasefire would open negotiations toward a lasting peace, hostage releases, and a potential broader agreement to end the Gaza conflict.
