一名接近哈馬斯的巴勒斯坦官員週一對路透社表示,哈馬斯已同意美國特使史蒂夫·維特科夫提出的加沙停火提案,為結束與以色列的戰爭鋪平道路。
該新提案涉及釋放10名人質及70天的停火,哈馬斯通過調解人收到該提案。
該消息人士表示:「該提案包括分兩批釋放哈馬斯扣押的10名在世以色列人質,以換取70天的停火及以色列從加沙地帶部分撤軍。」
該提案還包括以色列釋放若干巴勒斯坦囚犯,包括數百名被判長期徒刑的囚犯。
以色列方面尚未立即發表評論。
3月18日,以色列實際上終止了1月與哈馬斯達成的停火協議,並在加沙恢復軍事行動。哈馬斯及其盟友派系在兩天後開始發射火箭彈並展開襲擊。
哈馬斯表示,願意釋放其武裝分子在2023年10月7日對以色列南部社區襲擊中扣押的所有剩餘人質,並同意永久停火,條件是以色列完全撤出加沙。
以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡表示,以色列只願意同意臨時停火以換取人質釋放,並誓言只有消滅哈馬斯後戰爭才能結束。
以色列在哈馬斯武裝分子2023年10月7日跨境襲擊後,對加沙發動空地戰爭,據以色列統計,該襲擊造成1200人死亡,251名人質被劫持至加沙。
據加沙衛生當局統計,這場衝突已造成近54,000名巴勒斯坦人死亡,並摧毀了加沙沿海地帶。援助團體表示,嚴重營養不良的跡象普遍存在。
CAIRO, May 26 (Reuters) - Hamas has agreed to a proposal by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff for a Gaza ceasefire, a Palestinian official close to the group told Reuters on Monday, paving the way for a possible end to the war with Israel.
The new proposal, which sees the release of ten hostages and 70 days of truce, was received by Hamas through mediators.

"The proposal includes the release of ten living Israeli hostages held by Hamas in two groups in return for a 70-day ceasefire and a partial withdrawal from the Gaza Strip," the source said.
The proposal also sees the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by Israel, including hundreds serving lengthy prison terms.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
On March 18, Israel effectively ended a January ceasefire agreement with Hamas and renewed its military campaign in Gaza. Hamas and allied factions began firing rockets and attacks two days later.
Hamas has said it is willing to free all remaining hostages seized by its gunmen in attacks on communities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and agree to a permanent ceasefire if Israel pulls out completely from Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel would only be willing to agree to a temporary ceasefire in return for the release of hostages, vowing that war can only end once Hamas is eradicated.
Israel launched an air and ground war in Gaza after Hamas militants' cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people by Israeli tallies with 251 hostages abducted into Gaza.
The conflict has killed nearly 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities, and devastated the coastal strip. Aid groups say signs of severe malnutrition are widespread.
