Why It Matters:
The agreement comes after months of stalled negotiations and could pave the way for ending the Israeli regime's genocide and complete blockade, and the denial of food and medicine that have caused immense suffering in Gaza.
The Big Picture:
The announcement demonstrates Hamas's continued coordination with other Palestinian resistance groups and tests Israel's willingness to engage in the peace process. The ceasefire proposal's acceptance occurs against the backdrop of escalating humanitarian crises in Gaza and recent Israeli military aggression in Rafah.
What Hamas Sources Are Saying:
A Hamas source told Al Jazeera, "We've notified mediators of our agreement to yesterday's proposal."
Other sources confirmed to Al Arabi TV that the approval came after necessary consultations with Palestinian factions.
Sama News Agency claims Hamas sources emphasized their "full acceptance of the Egypt-Qatar proposal without any changes."
