Doha, Qatar: Advisor to the Prime Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al-Ansari, has confirmed that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has informed mediators of its approval of a new ceasefire proposal for the Gaza Strip. 

He explained that this proposal represents the best possible option to save the lives of the people in Gaza, especially given the ongoing military escalation and plans announced in the media.

During the weekly media briefing organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Al-Ansari stated that the new proposal includes a path to a comprehensive agreement to end the war. 

This includes a 60-day temporary ceasefire, during which a number of prisoners and hostages would be exchanged, Israeli forces would be redeployed, and the delivery of humanitarian aid would be intensified as stipulated in the agreement.

He added that the response from Hamas was "very positive" and largely consistent with what had been previously agreed upon by the Israeli side.
