A senior Hamas official has stated that the terror group is ready to stop fighting in Gaza if Israel commits to a ceasefire deal. The official revealed that a Hamas delegation discussed ideas and proposals related to a Gaza truce with Egyptian officials in Cairo. Hamas has expressed its readiness to stop the fighting, but Israel must commit to a ceasefire, withdraw from the Gaza Strip, allow the return of displaced people, agree to a serious prisoner exchange deal, and allow the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Egypt and Qatar have been acting as mediators between Israel and Hamas in ceasefire negotiations.
