Hamas agrees to US proposal on Gaza ceasefire, Palestinian official says
- Hamas agreed to a U.S. proposal on a Gaza ceasefire involving a lasting truce and Israeli withdrawal as of late May 2025.
- The agreement followed a costly conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages.
- Israeli military operations have killed over 54,000 Palestinians, displaced 90% of Gaza's 2 million residents, and destroyed large areas of Gaza.
- Hamas said it would release hostages during a 60-day pause in exchange for over 1,100 Palestinian prisoners and called the hostages its only bargaining chip.
- Israel rejected any long-term agreement, insisting on fighting until all hostages are freed and Hamas is neutralized, while Palestinians and much of the world oppose Gaza population resettlement plans.
