Hamas has accepted a cease-fire proposal presented by U.S. special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, aimed at ending hostilities in Gaza, Reuters reported Monday.

The proposal includes a 70-day cease-fire and the release of 10 Israeli hostages currently held in Gaza.

Negotiations are expected to continue toward a permanent peace agreement, with the United States providing security guarantees as part of the ongoing talks.

This development marks a significant step toward de-escalation in the region, amid months of conflict and international calls for a lasting resolution.
