Hamas Agrees to Immediate Ceasefire with Israel Based on Previous US Proposal

Negotiations continue in Doha, but key issues remain unresolved as the 11-month conflict persists.

Hamas has expressed readiness to implement an immediate ceasefire with Israel without new conditions.
The ceasefire would be based on a previous US proposal that included a three-phase plan in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages.
Negotiators from Hamas met with mediators, including Qatar's Prime Minister and Egypt's intelligence chief, in Doha to discuss the latest developments.
Control of the Philadelphi corridor on Gaza's border with Egypt remains a lingering issue in the talks.
The conflict, which began with a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of over 41,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis.
