The Hamas terrorist group said Friday it has issued a “positive response” to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire proposal in its war with Israel.
In a post to Telegram, Hamas said it “submitted a positive response to the mediators’ latest proposal.”
It added that it was “fully prepared to immediately enter into a round of negotiations on the mechanism for implementing this framework,” according to a translation of the post.
On Tuesday, President Trump announced that Israel had agreed to a proposal for a two-month ceasefire. At the time, neither Israel nor Hamas confirmed Mr. Trump’s statement.
Israeli sources told CBS News on Wednesday that while there was support for the terms of the proposal by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, Israel was not committing to it yet.
Netanyahu is expected to visit Washington, D.C., on Monday to meet with Mr. Trump at the White House.
