Hamas has agreed to a new ceasefire proposal aimed at ending over 22 months of conflict in Gaza, a senior official confirmed on Monday. The agreement comes after mediation efforts by Egypt and Qatar, supported by the United States, to stop the fighting that has devastated the region. Hamas accepted the proposal without seeking any changes, and the plan has been shared with Israel, which has yet to respond. Egyptian officials said the “ball is now in Israel’s court,” while mediators are expected to announce the agreement soon and work on guarantees for its implementation, raising hopes for a lasting solution.
