HAMAS has accepted Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire deal for Gaza, according to reports.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh had reportedly phoned Qatar's prime minister and Egypt's intelligence minister to deliver the news.
Al-Jazeera cited a leading Hamas official who reported that the agreement was reached on Monday.
The details of the proposal haven't been released yet but the two Middle-Eastern nations have been mediating the peace talks between Israel and Hamas for months.
An Israeli official stated that Hamas accepted a "softened" Egyptian plan which Israel found unacceptable, according to Reuters.
The news of the ceasefire come amid serious concerns over Israel's invasion of Rafah that the United Nations have warned could spark a bloodbath for helpless civilians.
