Israel examining ceasefire deal that Hamas accepted, says IDF spokesman | BBC News

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari has told a media briefing that Israel is examining the ceasefire proposal which Hamas says it's accepted.

Hamas says it has approved a ceasefire deal for Gaza put forward by Qatari and Egyptian mediators but it is not yet known exactly what the group has agreed to.

The announcement comes as Israel has urged 100,000 Palestinians to leave eastern Rafah ahead of a "limited" military operation.

The war began when Hamas fighters stormed into southern Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and seizing 252 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

More than 34,700 people have been killed in Gaza since then, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

This is an Egyptian deal which Hamas has accepted. Israel was not involved but is now considering a response. Very disingenuous BBC reporting. I expect Israel will still go in to Rafah and finish off Hamas.

Im confused, if the IDF made the offer and it was accepted why does it have to be re accepted by Israel? Sounds like delaying tactics

[butterbean]

Examining = making the most of that military aid from the west

Stop lying to your viewers. Shame On You BBC.

I wish peace and love for all human kind and the whole world ❤❤❤

[vonshayne]

The media is milking this instead of disciplining Bibi

[mohmedhassan]

Netenyahu will do anything and everything to stop the deal so he can continue the war and stay out of prison

[watersandblue]

i seriously doubt peace can last there.

[Lithium_]

Netenyoohoo will never accept a permanent ceasefire. Endless conflict in Gaza is his only means of staying in power.

Hamas are relieved that they have accepted their own deal brokered with Egypt! Goodnight and goodbye Rafah!

[meddymigadde]

So hamas drafted a proposal and then accepted it. The period for free things is over

[sonyashas]

As son of Hamas founder Mosab says it’s a trap.

[fowowe]

End the war let there be peace on earth.
We came nothing, we go back with nothing.

Benjamin Netanyahu, I plead with you to please not carry out the operation in Rafah where 1.4 million displaced people are sheltering please please please. I have been patient and tried my best to not let my emotions take over me. I wish the safe return of all hostages and prisoners being held in Israel... Peace to you all 🙏🏽

They think it's all over it isn't now

*Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.*

- Benjamin Netanyahu, Speaking to Likud members of the Knesset (March 2019), as cited in "Another Concept Implodes: Israel Can’t Be Managed by a Criminal Defendant",  Haaretz (9 October 2023)

Yeah, and low and behold, Hamas has gone against the agreement they made two hours ago and launched rockets at Israel. Now who would have thought trying to make peace with terrorists would be easy and they would keep to their agreement, they just bleeding made.

[rattylol]

David Cameron said this is an incredibly generous offer by Israel which Hamas should accept. Right?

[automaticasthmatic]

What does it matter? Hamas have broken the last two ceasefires anyway.
