CBC
Hamas said on Monday that it had accepted a Gaza ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar.
The Islamist faction said in a statement that its chief, Ismail Haniyeh, had informed Qatar's prime minister and Egypt's intelligence chief of its acceptance of their proposal.
There were no immediate details over what the agreement entailed, nor was there immediate comment from Israel.
The announcement came hours after Israel ordered Palestinians to begin evacuating Rafah, where more than a million people have sought shelter in Gaza's south, ahead of an Israeli military operation.
More to come.
