Hamas has accepted a proposal by the United States (US) to initiate negotiations on the release of Israeli hostages, including soldiers and soldiers, 16 days after the first phase of the agreement aimed at ending the Gaza war, senior Hamas sources said.

The militant Islamist group has dropped demands that Israel first commit to a permanent ceasefire before signing the agreement.

Hamas will allow negotiations to achieve this during the first six weeks of phase, the source told Reuters on Saturday, July 6, without naming it because the talks were private.

A Palestinian official close to internationally mediated peace efforts said the proposal could result in a framework agreement if it was accepted by Israel and would end a nine-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Hamas sources said the proposal ensured that mediators would guarantee a temporary ceasefire, sending aid and withdrawing Israeli troops as long as talks did not immediately continue to implement the second phase of the agreement.
