Hamas negotiators in Cairo have received a new proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza calling for an initial 60-day truce, a Palestinian official said Monday.
“The proposal is a framework agreement to launch negotiations on a permanent ceasefire,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The official said that “Hamas will hold internal consultations among its leadership” and with leaders of other Palestinian factions to review the proposal from mediators.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, visiting the Rafah border crossing with Gaza on Monday, said that “as we speak now, there are Palestinian and Qatari delegations present on Egyptian soil working to intensify efforts to put an end to the systematic killing and starvation.”
Al Jazeera Arabic also reported that the Qatari prime minister is heading to Egypt for talks on a ceasefire deal for Gaza.
