CAIRO, May 29. /TASS/. Palestinian movement Hamas and Israel have agreed on a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Al Arabiya reported.

According to the channel’s sources, US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff has already been notified that the sides had agreed to his proposed ceasefire agreement.

The official announcement is expected to be made by US President Donald Trump in the next few hours, Al Arabiya sources said.

Meanwhile, the Quds portal close to Hamas said, citing a source in the movement, that the radicals "are still studying Witkoff’s proposal on Gaza" and that "all media reports that an agreement has been reached are untrue."

Hamas has not officially commented on the information.

The proposal from Witkoff provides for an immediate ceasefire for 60 days and the release of 10 hostages in two phases during the first week, Ynet said earlier on Thursday, citing sources. According to the news outlet, during the first week of the ceasefire, Hamas must also return to Israel the remains of 18 hostages. In response, Israel will release Palestinian prisoners in accordance with previously approved lists. Additionally, the document provides for a resumption of deliveries of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip via the UN and other international organizations, Ynet said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday the country accepted Witkoff’s new plan.

On May 28, Witkoff told reporters in the White House that the US is planning to send "a new term sheet" on a Gaza ceasefire to Israel and Hamas. On May 25, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said that indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel on a settlement of the conflict had hit an impasse. He said that during consultations in Doha, Israel wanted to make a deal only for the release of hostages, while Hamas insisted on ending the hostilities completely.
