The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has handed its approval of the proposed ceasefire for the Gaza Strip mediated by Egypt and Qatar.

Mediators in the Qatari capital Doha have been working hard to clinch a deal between Israel and Hamas to end more than 15 months of the genocidal war in Gaza and release Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Details on the terms and phases of the agreement are yet to be announced, but Hamas said in a statement that its delegation, led by Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group’s Legislative Council, handed its written approval of the ceasefire deal to the mediators in Qatar and Egypt.

"The leadership of Hamas delivered a short while ago to the mediator brothers its response to the ceasefire agreement proposal," the group said in its statement. 

"The movement's political bureau held an emergency meeting to discuss the proposal submitted by the mediators."

"The movement dealt with all responsibility and positivity, based on its responsibility towards our patient and steadfast people in the honorable Gaza Strip, by stopping the Zionist aggression against them, and putting an end to the massacres and war of genocide to which they are being subjected," it said.
