Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza would lead to the war's end, a source close to the militant group said on Thursday, as medics said Israeli strikes across the territory had killed scores more people.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Hamas has announced that it is currently reviewing a new proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. However, the group emphasizes that any sought-after agreement must truly end the war and guarantee the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the region.

The U.S. President said Israel “agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize” a 60-day ceasefire, “during which time we will work with all parties to end the war.”
