The deal was negotiated by mediators from Qatar and Egypt, and Hamas said it had informed the two countries’ diplomats of its decision. Israel has not yet commented on the Hamas announcement, and there is no word yet on whether Netanyahu will in turn accept the ceasefire. The announcement by Hamas’ political wing comes hours after Israel asked Palestinians to begin evacuating the southern Gaza Strip in anticipation of the weeks-planned Israeli military operation in Rafah. Hamas’s announcement led to cheers and cheers in Rafah from the local population. Details related to this armistice agreement have not been made public yet. In recent days, however, Egyptian diplomats and Hamas officials have said the truce will be implemented in stages. The terrorist group would release hostages in exchange for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
