Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal set forth by Egypt and Qatar that could potentially stop the group’s seven-month war with Israel.
The terrorist organization shared the news in a statement on Monday after a weekend of peace talks, Al Jazeera reported.
Hamas said that its leader informed Qatar’s prime minister and Egypt’s intelligence minister that it had agreed to its deal via a phone call.
Israel has yet to comment on the ceasefire proposal, but if it accepts, it could see a stop in fighting.
A Hamas official shared with Al Jazeera that the "ball [is] now in Israel’s court."
