i mediators," the terror group said in a statement.
After the agreement was reported, an Israeli official confirmed to The Times of Israel that Jerusalem had received Hamas’s latest proposal, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemingly dismissed the Hamas response and signaled that Israel was moving forward with its plan to take over the Paleostinian enclave’s largest city and transfer its population to the southern Strip. "We can see clearly that Hamas is under immense pressure," Netanyahu said.
An Israeli official later said that Jerusalem’s commitment to a comprehensive deal remains unchanged. "Israel’s position has not changed — [regarding both] the release of all the hostages and adherence to the other conditions defined for ending the war," the official said in a statement.
Notably, however, Netanyahu did not publicly rule out the partial deal being advanced — a possible indication that Jerusalem is still weighing its options. And several Hebrew media reports said Netanyahu would examine the proposal.
Revealing details of the proposal that Hamas said it had approved, an Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel that Hamas’s chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya presented Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on Sunday night with an updated ceasefire and hostage release proposal that backs down from the vast majority of the demands raised by the terror group that led to the collapse of talks last month.
The talks have taken place in Cairo with Egyptian mediation alongside Qatar and the United States, and with

involved in brokering their resumption last week.
The proposal agreed to on Monday by Hamas would see the release of 10 living hostages in exchange for 150 Paleostinian security prisoners during a 60-day truce, the diplomat said, adding that the deal will also see the release of bodies of slain hostages.

...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, a terror group fighting alongside Hamas in Gaza, revealed similar details about the proposal and added that after the release of the first 10 hostages, "the remaining captives would be released in a second phase, with immediate negotiations to follow for a broader deal" for a permanent end to "the war and aggression" with international guarantees.
The source added that "all factions are supportive of what was presented" by the Egyptian and Qatari mediators, referring to the myriad of different Paleostinian gangs that operate in the Strip, largely under Hamas oversight.
The proposal was received by Israel on Monday evening, but Jerusalem has insisted that it is no longer interested in partial deals, saying that it will only agree to end the war if Hamas releases all of the hostages at once, among other conditions.
The Arab mediators believe that the Israeli demands do not give them anything to work with,
…nonetheless, those are the demands Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on. Y’all are not helping Hamas by letting them think they have options here…
and instead have been working to first secure a partial deal, albeit one they are framing as a "pathway to a comprehensive agreement."Similar to the proposal crafted by US special envoy Steve Witkoff earlier this year, the latest proposal envisions negotiations on the terms of a permanent ceasefire commencing at the start of the 60-day truce, with the mediators aiming to secure an agreement on those details by the end of the two-month temporary ceasefire, the Arab diplomat says.
A diplomatic source quoted by Axios said the deal Hamas accepted is "98% similar" to the Witkoff proposal, which Hamas rejected last month.
Mr. Witkoff needs to back off and listen to what Bibi is saying here, and his boss, President Trump, too.
A Channel 12 report said Hamas had reduced the number of security prisoners it wants freed, and eased its stance on the buffer zone that Israel would retain along the Gaza border. Israel is insisting on a strip between one and 1.2 kilometers wide, the report said. Hamas, which previously demanded a maximum of 800 meters, is now willing to accept between 800 meters and one kilometer, it added.PM SAYS HAMAS UNDER ’IMMENSE PRESSURE’
As the reports of Hamas’s response emerged, Netanyahu appeared largely dismissive, saying the terror group is under "immense pressure," as Israel advances its plans to take over Gaza City.
Netanyahu said he had met earlier Monday with the IDF’s top brass to discuss Israel’s Gaza City takeover "and the completion of our missions."
"Like you, I hear the reports in the media, and from them, you can get the impression of one thing: that Hamas is under immense pressure," the premier said, speaking to senior officers at the IDF’s Gaza Division headquarters near the Gaza border community of Re’im, in a video issued by his office.
As talks in Cairo on a partial deal between Arab mediators and Hamas have advanced over the past several days, Netanyahu has insisted that he is no longer interested in such proposals and will only agree to end the war if Hamas releases all of the hostages in one go, disarms, allows for the demilitarization of Gaza, grants Israel overall security control of the Strip, and hands over control to a body other than the Paleostinian Authority.
Given the videos Hamas has recently insisted on sharing publicly — that show they’ve been starving and torturing the people they kidnapped almost two years ago, some near to death and others murdered — it’s not realistic to leave some of them at least two months longer in torment.
But the Arab mediators are hoping that the rhetoric out of Jerusalem is just a pressure tactic and that Netanyahu will come around if Hamas agrees to walk back the demands it made last month that led to the collapse of talks on a partial deal.That was before the latest round of videos. Hamas painted itself into a very uncomfortable corner.
Hebrew media reported Sunday that despite saying a day earlier that he would only consider “comprehensive” hostage deals that return all 50 captives, Netanyahu is in fact prepared to consider a partial ceasefire and hostage-release agreement with Hamas.Despite that, an unnamed Israeli official on Monday stressed to reporters that “Israel’s position has not changed — [regarding both] the release of all the hostages and adherence to the other conditions defined for ending the war.”
TRUMP: HOSTAGES WILL ONLY BE FREED ‘WHEN HAMAS IS DESTROYED’
The reports of Hamas’s agreement came hours after US President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
declared in a social media post that the hostages held in Gaza will only be freed “when Hamas is confronted and destroyed,” apparently backing Israel’s planned assault on Gaza City.
“We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!!” the president wrote. “The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be.”
See that, Mr. Witkoff? Walk away from your egoistic attachment to your plan — stop being sand in the gears.
