Hamas leaders said they were reviewing a ceasefire deal proposed by the Trump administration that had already received Israel's stamp of approval.

U.S. negotiators have not publicized the terms of the proposal, which Israel has reportedly approved. A Hamas official and an Egyptian official say it calls for a 60-day pause in fighting, provides guarantees of serious negotiations for a long-term truce,

Hamas wants a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire, terms U.S. and Israeli officials have rejected as unacceptable.

A U.S. plan for Gaza seen by Reuters proposes a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 28 Israeli hostages alive and dead in the first week.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned the killing of Mohammed Sinwar in a speech as the U.S. seeks a temporary ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

Steve Witkoff stated in Washington on Wednesday that he has "some very good feelings about getting to a long-term resolution — a temporary ceasefire and a long-term resolution, a peaceful resolution of that conflict," adding that a new U.S. proposal would soon be presented to both parties.
