Hamas receives new ceasefire proposal from US

Hamas receives new ceasefire proposal from US
Hamas says it has received US special envoy Steve Witkoff's new proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza from mediators, Skynews writes . 

The statement from the militant group says the proposal is now being studied. " The Hamas leadership has received Witkoff's new proposal from the mediators ," the statement said.

"It is studying it responsibly in a way that serves the interests of our people, provides relief, and achieves a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip."
What does the proposal contain?

According to Israeli media, Witkoff's plan calls for a 60-day ceasefire, during which nine live hostages will be released.

This would theoretically take place in two phases over the course of a week.

Israel and Hamas would then continue talks to bring the remaining hostages home, but Israel would retain the right to resume military action in Gaza if the talks failed.

Reports also suggest that humanitarian aid going to Gaza will resume through the UN and international aid agencies.
