Earlier in the day, Israel asked over lakh Palestinians to leave Rafah ahead of its limited scope operation’
-
The Hamas militant group on Monday said it has accepted an Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposal to halt the seven-month war with Israel. It issued a statement saying its supreme leader, Ismail Haniyeh, had delivered the news in a phone call with Qatar's prime minister and Egypt's intelligence minister. The two Middle Eastern nations have been mediating for months to broker peace between Israel and Hamas.
Details of the ceasefire were not disclosed immediately. An official familiar with Israeli thinking said it is examining the ceasefire proposal approved by Hamas. But the official warned that the plan approved by Hamas "is not the framework Israel proposed".
The announcement came hours after Israel ordered Palestinians to begin evacuating the southern Gaza town of Rafah ahead of an Israeli military operation. Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold.
